One of the reasons Tai didn’t own any pets is because he could never offer them his undivided attention; however, at this time, giving Livie his attention wasn’t all that difficult. He noticed Livie whining playfully mere seconds ago. “Hey cutie, I didn’t forget about you.” Tai tossed Livie high up into the air, and caught him back into his arms before he fell. “Wheee! Wanna do that again?” he asked as if expecting an answer back.

Livie barked excitedly, still wagging his tail wildly. Of course, Rina wasa watching now and smiling gain after what Tai had 'threatened.'

But the door suddenly opened and in came in the living room, was one of the village people from the looks of him. Probably Rina forgot to lock the door, as usual. "Rina! Thank the goddesses you're safe!'

Rina did recognise the man, but why would he be here? And saying that of all things? "Huh...?"

"I thought you were with Maria and Larin were captured outside of town by a pack of shadows. Or so we think. For those who know about this, we all thought you were taken as well. I'm sorry Rina, but there was nothing we could do. I was the only survivor from the attack because I was a coward. They may do who knows what to them. I'm sorry," the man gasped, finally taking a breath of air, from running wherver this had happened to here.

"What?! But why? ... Why were there multiple people with them...?" Questions questions, and they needed to be answered.

"Well, me and a few other guys needed to go to Henraku too, we thought it'd be safer that way with all of us. But even still... there was nothing we could do to stop it and they attacked out of nowhere, we never got a chance to think why it happened."

Rina looked pained by this news, tears now streaming down her cheeks and face. Right now, she was really too choked to speak.

" I have to warn the rest of the village, just in case they came into the town. There's a slim chance that they might live," the man spoke softly, right before taking his leave.

It's so easy to destroy and condemn.
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?

Talk about an unwanted visitor! It’s not really ever the messenger’s fault; however, the news that the messenger brought was exceptionally undesirable.

Moments ago, both Tai and Rina were enjoying themselves playing with Livie. Suddenly, a villager stormed into the house. With him, he brought of bad news. News like how Rina’s parent’s, Maria and Larin, along with a few other people encountered shadows and were captured. Him, being a coward, was the only one who had survived the attack.

It took some time for Tai to fully realize the situation. Apparently, both of Rina’s parents had been captured by some kind of creatures called ‘shadows’. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced over at Rina who now had tears running down her face. “Poor girl…” he thought. Tai walked over and wrapped Rina in his arms, holding her closely to his body. “Hey, don’t give up. That guy said that there was still a chance your parents might still be alive right?” he said trying to encourage her. Tilting his head down, so that their eyes met. “Come on pretty girl, don’t give up on them just yet. Now’s the time they need you most. We’ll think of something,” he promised.

Rina was comforted a bit by the embrace but, what came next was even worse for her. Sudden images of dark creatures in the deep forest, that both Tai and Rina had just been to, only a bit deeper due to lack of any light at all.

Most of if not all of the images were transferred to Tai as well, since he was so cloe to Rina, and now saw exactly what she was now seeing. The 'Shadows' in a big circle, acting very barbaric and chanting something. In the middle of the circle they had formed was a small poor of a green liquid, acid most likely. There was a break in the circle were a board leading to and from the acid was layed.

Two people, that Rina both knew as her 'parents' were pushing pushed newer and newer that pool of acid only heled up by that plank of wood. Inch by inch drew closer, until both were shoved off. The chanting of the creatures became louder and less rhythmatic. And maybe a minute later, one of the bodies was dragged out, only half-dissolved for Rina could see what was happening to them first-hand.

Of course, Rina screamed with the tears harder as the images wouldn't stop, untill a voice rang. You think I would let such an entity of ight be a threat to us? I WILL make you suffer, just as all te people in the world have. Trembling badly, Rina couldn't help but cry and feel depressed all around even after the images had stopped. Practically scared stiff, but there wasn't really a stiff part.

OoC: This might seem very dark and disturbing, but it is. x.x I seriously need to get it out of me though. This will hopefully be the last hard thing Rina has to endure.

What the hell was it that he just saw? Was it a vision of the future, or was that the fate of Rina’s parents? Whatever it was, it was definitely not pleasant.

Too many questions were running through his head right now. The thing that freaked Tai out the most was the voice at the end that harassed Rina. Just what were those things; they were like a tribe of… indescribable beings. No matter what the consequence, Tai knew he had to keep her safe. She was his top priority right now, her well-being is a must!


OoC: Sorry it's short. I can't really say much until I know where you want to go with this.

Livie on the other hand didn't have ANY idea of what was going on, and started pawing at Rina. In reponse to the small whimpering of Livie, Rina put her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Her shaking didn't stop andthe tears continued to stream. "It's all my fault again," Rina managed to say, breaks in her words. "If they hadn't brought me in, or I wasn't here then they'd still be okay. I'm so sorry... Mama, papa..."

OoC: It's okay, that's the plot until tomorrow in the roleplay.

“Don’t say that. There’s no way you could’ve known that this would happen.” He knew that words probably meant nothing right now; nevertheless, he tried his best to conjure away that sadness of hers. Never in his life has he ever felt so powerless; Tai did his best to comfort Rina, but that wasn’t enough, and as for the shadows, he had absolutely no idea how to deal with them. Fact is he’s not quite sure what they were.

Tai excused himself from the room that Rina was in, and searched the house for any info about shadows: parchments, books, and pictures, anything at all. On a bookshelf, luckily, there was a book about shadows. He scanned the book to find an excerpt: “Shadows are soulless creatures of the night, which were one point in time among those with souls. They have all been lured to the side of darkness by another Shadow, the Goddess of Shadows, or may have been forced into life of a Shadow by one of the two. There also are a special type of Shadow, which has a soul, but tainted blood, which is for worse than any lack of soul.” Well, now he has a brief understanding of them at least…

With Tai not in the same room, Rina felt alone again, even with Livie; who was still in her arms, whining."Don't worry Livie... sometime, I'll be able to smile and laugh again," Rina whispered.

Recalling song, sung to her when she was little Rina mimicked the words and sound, from her memory at least.

"Win dain a lotica
En val tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint

Win chent a lotica
En val turi
Silota
Fin dein a loluca
Si katigura neuver
Floreria for chesti
Si entina

Lalala…
Fontina Blu Cent
De cravi esca letisimo
Lalala…
De quantian
La finde reve

Win dain a lotica
En vai tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint."

But with that song, RIna had made herself drowsy and barely had the strength keep ahold of Livie. In which case, Livie squirmed out of her arms and licked her face from the side. A soft golden glow pretty much around her entire body. And then slowly Rina fell asleep ontop of the cuch, curled up.

OoC: I know mostly what it means, so dont' freak out if it means something bad. @.@; And I dont' know if I can do one of the books. I'd have to think... ... I need a nap.

It was a little while later until he went back into the room. The book had told him of some disturbing information. Apparently, there were different levels of Shadows. Each level, Shadows gain different abilities. Unfortunately for Tai, he found that Shadows of level 4 & 5 were immune to all types of magic, except for light and dark abilities. Since Tai was a wind manipulator, it means great difficulty for him in case he ever had to battle one. He sighed knowing that there was nothing he could do about that.

Upon entering the room he found Rina curled up on the couch. She was sleeping so peacefully, so soundly, it comforted him to know that she could rest at all. As he was putting his cloak on her, to make sure she doesn’t catch a cold, he noticed she was glowing?! He hated to have to wake her up, since she’s sleeping so soundly, but this was too strange. Tai took hold of her arms and shook her repeatedly hoping she’d wake up. Please…

OoC: I'm just dense. Didn't really get what you said.

It only took a few seconds to wake her up. "Huh...? What's wrong Tai," Rina spoke quietly since she was still rather tired. Rubbing her eyes and yawning a bit while she said that as well. "Are you okay?" Even though Rina had awoken, the glow did not fade.

Outsie was rather bad looking. With storm clouds covering the sun and sky. Thunder racing from cloud to cloud, and the ground nearby. Rain started drip from the clouds and pour down onto the dry ground.

OoC: Huh? The song or just me in general? I'm just strange and random. ^^; I'll post the translation of the song later if you need it. Oh yeah, I see where you're confused... I was thinking I could explian a few things in other book while he was still in the other room.

Tai was more than happy that Rina had wakened up, but she was still emitting some sort of strange glow. “I’m fine, but how are you feeling? Is anything hurting? Do you feel strange in anyway?” he asked worriedly.

All of a sudden thunder erupted from the sky. Raining was heavily pouring down on the town of Rethus. Not exactly a sign of hope and joy.

Rina just kind of stared at him for a minute, as if thinking about it. I'm fine, nothing's hurting or anything. I'm just a little bit tired, that's all. Are sure everything's okay? You seem really worried," Rina questioned back. She apparently hadn't noticed the glow yet, but her mind was preoccupied at the moment, with the sudden awakening and all. Wanted to make sure things were okay. Not that outside was any help.

The next thing, was a large sound of a bell. A big ironish gold bell by the sound, ringing as loud it possibly could. With that, Livie started barking almost as loudly, but not quiet and growling between barks. "That's... the warning bell. It might be an attack...!"

An attack? What sort of attack? Almost instantly, he realized it had to be the Shadows that were attacking! Crap! Not at this time… he wasn’t even sure if Rina was okay.

“Rina you stay here!” he commanded. “I’m not sure what’s happening to you, but I’ll get to the bottom of it. Stay here while I go check things out.” With that said, Tai started dashing towards the door. He felt bad for leaving Rina all alone, but he couldn’t just stay with her when meanwhile people are getting attacked.

"But-!" Before she could finish, Tai was already out of the room. Rina was fully awake with all the noise, and finally stood up from the couch. Livie was still parking and growling, but as soon as he was picked up by Rina and in her arms again, Livie stopped and looked at her. "I have a bad feeling Livie..." Rina paused for a second. "That he'll be hurt. But what can I do?"

"There's plenty. But you have to awaken," a voice said from behind as soon as Tai left. Which was kind of pointless, since it seemed Rina was the only one able to see what she saw. A shining sword and shield, together as seemingly one.

"Awaken...?"

...

Meanwhile outside was bad. Creatures running rampant through the streets. Half of the people had already made it out, despite the rush of this incident. With the remainder were being chased by the human-like shadows. Some being turned into shadows themselves.

Almost as soon as Tai got out, shadows started to attack. But from the looks of them, they weren't very high inrank, maybe threes at most.

The sight was brutal. Townspeople were being massacred by those Shadows. Some of them tried to fight back, but was overpowered and died, others were even being converted. There were just too many of them. Tai pulled out his Daishenben from under his cloaks and wielded it in his hands. Hopefully these weren’t high level Shadows or his attacks would be rendered useless as well.

Tai rushed into battle with a nearby Shadow. He slashed at it with the Daishenben. The Shadow was surprised by the attack, and was injured. In response, it transformed into another of his forms, a bear. They could do that?! How annoying! Bear-form Shadow took a swipe at Tai with his paws. Seconds before the attack connected, Tai did a back flip, escaping the attack while connecting one of his own, kicking the bear right on the jaw. He quickly focused his energy on the Daishenben; the Daishenben was now flowing with a light blue energy. When the Shadow came charging at him, Tai waited until the very last second to unleash a concentrated whip of wind at it. At the range, the bear was too close to dodge the attack and was dissipated. One down… god knows how many more to go…
