Reita struggled. "Oh, you don't KNOW me." His eyes widened, then narrowed. He was glaring at Adio. Both cats trotted off, one growling towards the other.

Calder removed his wing from his body. He motioned towards Adio to step aside from Reita. Calder walked and paused just a foot away from Reita. Reita growled.

"I should kill you. I will kill you." He seethed.

Calder looked down.

"I come from the plane of Reason
I seek the cause of things like you
Why do you exist but to bring darkness to the lives of others?
I seek that you leave
Leave now. I banish you, Beast, for you have no use for this man."

Calder reached out and placed a hand on Reita's forehead. Reita howled with pain. His back arched as a red aura expanded from his body. Calder closed his eyes and tilted his head upwards.

"I come from the plane of Order.."

Reita struggled wildly. "Stop..Stop this!"

"I come from the plane of Order.
I seek an end to your form.
Crumble to dust, Beast.."

Calder removed his hand from Reita's forehead. Nothing was happening yet. Reita was in an extreme amount of pain.

[Aoi]

[align=center]Adio stepped aside a thin coat of sweat was crossed his skin and his now bare chest not considering the feather like guard over his right shoulder..his dark off colored black/brown hair fell infront of his face somewhat, on the right a horn formed the dark bone matching the gauntlet that formed over his left arm encasing his hand and forming a claw like weapon over his own claws strengthening them somewhat,his muscles had become more pronounced and tighter a black tattoo running up the front of his stomach..Adio while this had happened had fell against the wall however he kept his footing staring blankly out at Reita and Calder.


He didn't like the feeling of all this power,all this freedom to use his strength..all this freedom to his emotion..all this freedom to his magic abilities..It was overwhelming...when he spoke his voice seemed still  normal however it was accompanied with a rather low darker tone.



"...Why isn't anything working.''



His fangs gnashed somewhat,this was driving him to the edge..Either Calder wasn't as good as he'd think he was or something else was at work.

Reita was starting to calm down. His eyes closed halfway. "Mmn.." His entire body spasmed suddenly. Calder's arms moved to hold Reita still.

"Get out." Calder whispered. "Your grip on him is loosened. Get out."

His left hand moved to Reita's chest, holding him still, while the other drew back.

"Adio, if you wish to remove yourself from the room, you may." Calder turned towards Adio as light transformed into a weapon, a spear above his head.

Calder was serious and he didn't wait for Adio to leave. His arm moved forward quickly, demonstrating the power that he held as the form of an Order Elemental. He drove the light spear into Reita's forehead. Reita screamed, then shuddered. The spear was driven through his head. There was no blood. There was no broken bones.

In fact, as the spear pierced all the way through his skull, the only thing left on Reita's body was the symbols of Order and Reason. Reita's body was weakened significantly and he slid to the floor, only held up by the chains on his wrist. Calder unchained Reita's wrists, then took a step back from him. Reita appeared to be sleeping.

In his dream, Reita had freed himself from the beast, the last vestige of the beast had prepared to leave him. A dark, inky substance leaked from Reita's ear. Calder leaned down and ran a hand along Reita's browline like a mother caring for her baby.

"Let that be a lesson to the taint of Chaos. There is no more room for Chaos in this body. You have been shut out. Once this man awakens, you will run in fear."

Whether or not this was true was different. Calder stood and glanced towards Adio. "It's over." He murmured.

[Aoi]

[align=center]Adio hadn't moved eyes widened as he gasped watching the spear go through Rreita's head without any problem,hearing Reita's scream was nerve-wrecking and enticed every muscle to strike out at Calder.


"Adio, if you wish to remove yourself from the room, you may."


Adio glared at Calder with a -does it look like im able?- kind of expression..He watched Reita crumble to the floor and bounded forward a hand moved shoving Calder out of the way even though how gentle the gesture was..He picked Reita up as he knelt down letting Reita rest against himself,his second form disappeared in a burst of purple feathers that scattered all around the room a few idly falling from nowhere... his normal form had returned the easiest he had ever been able to get out of the beserker form for the first time...Shaking hands ran through Reita's hair..His voice was normal again as well.



"Reita-kun..it's over..''


He whispered looking down at Reita,he looked alot more at ease then he had ever been..[/align]

[Karate McNaughty]

Calder, still an Order Elemental, just allowed himself to be shoved out of the way. He closed his eyes slowly. He thanked the plane of Order and the plane of Reason. Calder leaned over towards Adio and gently ran a hand across his cheek, across the burn on his cheek. The burn disappeared from Adio's cheek, then reappeared on Calder's. Calder closed his eyes and backed away from Adio and Reita.

The fae fell to the floor and light was dispersed along with a burst of white feathers. Calder's wings had disappeared and he was lying on the floor as his normal shimmering self. His energy was completely spent on the form of the Order Elemental and there was no way that Calder could possibly get up. Tierney and his feline accomplice had both changed forms while Calder had released the Order Elemental form. Tierney was wearing simple robes. He picked Calder up easily with the help of the woman beside him.

"He will need rest." Tierney said calmly before bowing his head and leaving the room.

Reita murmured something in his sleep and opened his eyes slowly. "Adio?" He whispered.

Reita's body had returned to normal. The color of his skin had faded, but he appeared to be very drained and very tired. "Adio, did I hurt you?"

[Aoi]

[align=center]Adio blinked lightly as Calder's hand brushed crossed his cheek,his hand was so warm..Adio shook his head lightly turning attention back to Reita who spoke to him now,clearly tired however.



"No,but your the first to actually get me to change into my second form,and actually get me out of it in the end.''



He laughed gently..Smiling.
A few stray feathers still fell but soon the air about them was quiet..Adio seemed so relieved,he didn't appear to be so stressed out or tired now..



"Do you want me to help you to a bed around here,do you need anything Reita-kun?''


He asked.

[Karate McNaughty]

"Would you please? I'm so tired, Adio." He murmured.

The fae woman from before showed up once more. "I am here to show you to your chamber, should you wish to stay the night. The King is currently..ah..in need of rest."

The woman smiled. "My name is Andraste. You may call me Andy for short. I come to you on behalf of the King. I'm the Captain of the Royal Guard. Please, allow me to show you the way. You'll be granted with privacy. I'll have guards posted outside of your doors, for we're all still in danger."

Andy gently helped Reita, holding him by his elbow and guiding him to his feet. Andy took a keyring from her pocket and unlocked the chain around Reita's waist. The chain hit the floor with a heavy sounding clunk.

[Aoi]

[align=center]Adio glanced up looking at the woman breifly before turning attention back to Reita.


"Yes alright,nice to meet you ma'am.''


Nothing more much said to the woman as he'd help her with Reita,Adio's ears twitching at the sound the chain made when it hit the floor..Adio wrapped his wings to his back again his shirt still gone as well as his belt,his pants slightly torn but he didn't seem to mind as he helped with Reita,Adio seemed alot happier more relieved.



"Andy,whats the danger level.''



He asked waiting for her to lead them down to their chamber.[/align]

[Karate McNaughty]

Andy rose an eyebrow. "Not very high. Unless your name is Calder and you've just cast the Order magicks. I am not sure, though." Her gaze turned towards Reita who seemed to be falling asleep while standing up.

"Poor guy. Well, we should go before too long." Andy guided the two out of the room.

Reita sighed heavily, as though a ton of emotions were exitting from his body just from that one sigh.

"It's been a trying time. How did you know to come here?" Andy asked.

"Cybil.." Reita replied.

[Aoi]

[align=center]Adio nodded in agreement to what Reita said in reguards to Cybil being the one who told them how to get here..He looked to Reita who seemed to be falling asleep and softly laughed.


"We're almost there,dont fall asleep now,your get a nice big bed to yourself tonight alright?..you earned it.''


He smiled somewhat,once Andy got them to the chambers Amber eyes peered around and spotted a long lounge bed in the corner near the main bed,he smirked in relief.
Before he'd retire himself he'd pull the bedsheets back for Reita,once Andy helped Reita into bed Adio would set the bed covers over Reita for him.



"Your help is much obliged Andy.''


He said quietly before looking back at Reita before he himself would go over to the lounge bed in the corner and sit down sighing in comfort..eyes returned to Reita.



"Just tell me if you need anything alright Reita-kun?''



[/align]

[Karate McNaughty]

Reita smiled. "Are you sure?" He rose an eyebrow. "I wouldn't mind sharing the bed."

Andy smirked.

Reita closed his eyes as Andy helped Reita into the bed. Andy smirked. "You're both cute together. A love like your's is something you only find in fairy tales. I'll see to it that you are not disturbed, sirs. Rest well." She bowed and left the two alone.

Andy took up her post outside of the door to Reita's and Adio's chamber.

The room itself was large and rather extravagantly decorated with rich, dark woods and white bedsheets. The window led out to a balcony that held a view of the beach behind the castle. The moon was rising, casting a pink glow upon the room. Reita didn't even crawl underneath the blankets. He removed his shoes, then went right to sleep, snoring softly.

[Aoi]

[align=center]"yes thank you Andy.''

He'd thank Andy as she left,attention turning to Reita as he spoke,Adio smiled softly still with a soft laugh.


"Like I said,you deserve to have a big bed for tonight,we'll have another day/night out when we get home have some fun.''


He said soon watching Reita fall asleep a smile remaining on Adio's face as he sat up walking over to the balcony doors he'd slip out onto the balcony quietly closing the door taking his violin case with him before he was faced with the vast beach below and around him and the balcony.


"The moon is so big...''


He whispered gently nimble fingers reaching out to nothing as if he fought to catch the moon by it's edge..a smile remained as he softly laughed as he'd sit on the edge of the balcony after taking out his violin beginning to play he'd sing along.



"Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking 'round
Thinking I'm going crazy
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Oooh, oooh...

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that their goal
Is to keep me from falling
But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the pain
That I keep all closed in
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love"



He sang his voice drifting against the silent night about the castle,his fingers nimbly dancing along the neck of the violin as he played his amber eyes closed.[/align]

Kalatin had swam from the ocean to the beach. At that point, she struggled with the adjustment from water to air. She knelt down in the soft pink light of the moon with her hand against her chest. Kalatin was coughing violently. She finally stood. The woman's skin reflected the pink moonlight. Her skin was of a silver tone. So far, nothing about her would spell malice. The woman heard the sound of his voice rising from King Calder the Just's huge castle.

Kalatin moved in to investigate. Her hair was kept in a messy ponytail and her clothing suggested that she was of a Greek descent. The woman was fae as well, but not in the same light as Calder. Where Calder's people worshipped the God of Light and Medicine, her people worshipped the God of the Sea and War. She made her way towards the castle, then stood below the balcony.

"Such a lovely voice." She clapped her hands together. Her clothing and hair were still wet.

From somewhere upon the beach, another voice could be heard from a larger figure. This person, a male, was covered in tattoos of bear devouring deer.

"Sing some more for us songbird. We can smell the energy from there." The Bear man said.

"It smells of magic." Kalatin continued.

[Aoi]

[align=center]Adio's violin gave a screech as his hand danced the bow crossed it to quickly..He glanced down at the woman and the man who made themselves known.


"..I..Im sorry,who are you..I shouldn't of been playing here but i couldn't contain myself,are you guests here as well?''


He seemed slightly taken back by the two people who awkwardly to him just popped out of from no where it seemed...The way these people were adorned confused Adio never having seen a woman of Greek decent let alone a man so decorated in bodily art,it was rather shocking to some extent.[/align]

[Karate McNaughty]

Kalatin frowned. "Sadly, we are not allowed inside of the castle. I am much too wet to stand on His Majesty's floor and he is considered to be too strange to be seen within its walls. My name is Kalatin. My tribe lives under the sea."

Kalatin had figured that this would be the perfect night to scope out the castle. And she brought along her lifemate, S'zati. S'zati bowed his head. He stood many heads taller than Kalatin. He was considered to be a giant.

"My name is S'zati. I come from one of the northern tribes. We celebrate animal totems. Like that of my clan, the Bear."

Kalatin rose an eyebrow. "We wish to be guests of the castle, for we wish to be included in kingdom affairs as well."
