"DAMN IT RAKASA!! I SAID I WAS SORRY!!"

* Sand yelled at the top of his lungs as his ride once again, seemingly by magic, managed to start bucking at a gallop nearly unseating him. After a hundred feet of this 'spirited' behavior he was finally able to get Rakasa's head around long enough to slow him down for a flying dismount while still holding onto the reins. *

" It was an emergency and you wouldn't have liked spending all that time stuck in the cargo hold. I wish I'd had you along but it was all crazy. Hey! Don't you give me that look! You were well taken care of, it looks like you even... "

* He trailed off as he looked past his familiar, his eyes wide as he finally noticed the complete lack of anything familiar. A look of consternation passed over his face as he looked up at the setting sun. Turning back to his horse he let out a sigh. *

" Well congratulations Rakasa, we just spent the entire day with you running around like a mad-man, er horse. I hope you remember which way we came from, otherwise we are officially lost in the middle of nowhere. "[/u]

[glow=green,2,300] * From out of the planes, the form of five large lions made from pure jade approached Sand, then sat in a row, all looking up at him, smiling wryly.
When they spoke, hey spoke in unison*

"Hello Sun Prince. What brings you out here? Have you come seeking wisdom?... you came to the right place."

* The lions nodded all at once, their voices still reverberating in the air, sounding like ancient and powerful arbiters of truth and virtue*[/glow]

* Sand carefully shifted his weight to make it easier to remount should things go south. With a side ways glare at Rakasa, as if saying this was all his fault, he called out to the lions before him. *

" I know what you are demon, and I have no need for you kind of wisdom. However I will give you a bit of my own. Leave. This Empire is closed to your kind. You are neither welcome nor wanted here. There are those here who would do all they can to destroy you. So take your selves beyond this Empires wall and do not return. "

* As he was saying this, with one hand inside his robes he took hold of his communicator and activated it. Hoping someone would be able to hear the demons reply, and if nothing else they would know what happened to him should the beasts slay him. * [/u]

[glow=green,2,300] * The lions all smiled at once, baring their shiny jade teeth at Sand*

" You have no power out here, Sun Prince. Besides, we are not out here to fight. We are here to spread the truth. A silent wind blows through these lands, and we are here to interpret her will.

You should know that you are the product of a traitor... and the follower of an oath-breaker.

My grand mistress was once a ruler of this world, who reminded everyone of their position in this world. Now, humans spread all over Creation, farther than they should have and wiped out those who were created to keep the balance of their home.

Your Unconquered Sun rose up beyond his station to usurp those who truly knew best... The Primordials who had crafted the very fabric of creation from the limitless possibility of The Wyld and fashioned it into a paradise of stability.

And now your Emperor.... he made a deal he had no intention of keeping, with a Prince he had no chance of defeating. He is a liar and a thief, and he will make you regret trusting him.

and just to let you know... this is our land now. Even as we speak, the faith of the ancient creators is spreading through the empire, growing into a legion. A healthy patch of conciseness amidst a lump of cancerous lies."

* With a silent pray to the Unconquered Sun and a mental shrug Sand gave a sigh and with a negligent wave of his hand addressed the beings before him *

" Your words are weak demon, those Primordials you speak of are but moldering corpses who have yet to realize they are dead. As for the Emperor having no chance of defeating your 'Prince.' "

* Sand let loose a laugh brimming with scorn. *

" Emperor Ress isn't the one who was over confident and forced to flee for his life. I've yet to see him break his word, where as you, you lie with every breath. Your very existence is an affront to Creation. You are the disease. YOU are the cancer upon this land. BEGONE! "

* The jade lions all grinned a great toothy grin as the one in the center stepped forward, taking a single fresh reed from under its mane and sticking it into the ground, letting it stand tall before them*

" So you have made your choice then. Fool... we gave you the option to save yourself. But know... your end can come from everything... a reflection, a ball of yarn... a whisper... or even something as simple as a reed in the wind."

* The Lions stood up on all fours and readied themselves for combat, fanning out around the lone Solar*

* Honored Brother and Mild Magma arrived, the scene was a mess. blood, cloth and hide were strone across the landscape as the huge hulking demon looked on with a grimace across his reptilian face.

A whine escaped Mild Magma, but he fell silent when Honored Brother put his hand on his shoulder. With a Nod, Honored Brother took a step infront of his pupil, interposing them for a moment*

" So monster... you come unwelcome and uninvited to this Empire... Even now, a force rallies to come stop you.... I do not envy you... Quarter Prince"

* The Demon chuckled, his huge staff slung over his mighty shoulders*
" So, little Scion... you think you can stand against me?... I have dropped Solars far older than you!... feel free to face your doom"

[Lirimana]

Resplendent Fire 10,

*Lirimana landed the Warbird nearby the decimated scene. She bit her lip as she left the plane sitting idle, just in case someone needed to make a quick exit. She knew that if there was anyone or anything left alive she could fix them up, but she had to find them first. The scent of blood assaulted her nostrils with its coppery flares as she exited the Warbird. She kept a quick and steady pace, not wanting the beastly demon before her to think she was afraid. Even if she was.

Honored Brother and his child-pupil were already here, but no trace of Sand or his horse, unless all of that gore were theirs... Sun, she hoped not. This was no place for that boy, and her strides brought her to a stop next to him, where she put a gentle hand on his shoulder and smiled down at him*

Long time no see. Looks like you've gotten yourself into a nasty fight here

*she let her eyes search his face, staring into his, as she looked for something to reassure him; or at least bolster his confidence for what was sure to be an ugly and probably painful fight*

I can count on you to have my back, right? After all, since I'm here I can't just stand idly by..

*the Twilight unholstered her spear and turned towards the impending combat*

Resplendent Fire 6,


Well, here goes nothing!

*Lirimana tried to look heroic, though she was wincing inside as she faced down a demon that demons of higher standing feared. He wasn't called the Quarter Prince for nothing. How did he get here, anyway? What kind of moron would summon something like this and could we banish it somehow? As she locked Octavian in her sights, the Twilight tried to come up with a plan, knowing that she would be lucky to actually damage him. That hot Saia lady would be a dream come true right about now.

Lirimana began to spin her spear, slowly at first, but faster and faster as she went from walking to running toward her foe, addressing the mink on her shoulder before her first strike*

Caress, find help. Someone to banish or kill him while I hold him off!

*She became a momentary blur of Orichalcum and brown, her strikes seeking weaknesses as she used both the pointy tip and the flat butt of her spear to assail the demon, the crimson chain lifting up like an arm and striking at Octavian as well, as though it wanted to assist its mistress.She struck with her speed, knowing enough about this demon that it would be a waste for her to use anything extra just yet. Better to let him show one or two of his cards first, and if for no other help than to distract while Caress of Words found an appropriate ender for this futile game*

Resplendent Fire 6,

* This was a perfect opportunity for Mild Magma to show everyone exactly how tough he was! After all, he knew Honored Brother was the strongest Exalt in Creation and he was his best pupil! Mild magma took in a deep breath. Taking a moment to center himself, bringing both hands to his chest in the shape of a bowl, then raised them to the sky, he then let them come apart as his stance sharply slid backwards, falling into a fighting stance, ribbons of orange and red essence trailing in all directions*

" you are in luck! You have the opportunity to go back to your Malfean home and tell everyone that you got the privilege of losing to Honored Brother and Mild Magma!"

* The young dragon hopped forward, grabbing onto the demon's iron staff and swinging from it to plow his knee into the face of this living tower. Magma allowed himself to fall to his side, dropping his elbow down into the shoulder of Octavian, then headbutted him in his back on his way back down, before landing on one knee. Fortunatly, he had the sense to stay out of iminante strike range and sprinted in the direction of Honored Brother*
