Jing walked to the waterfalls and next to the lake that the waterfall poured into were hotsprings, there were three pools. Jing has been looking for his family for almost two years. Jing had finaly found one of his brothers and there has been so much stress on him the past years. He was not only looking for his family. He was also looking for his one true love. Jing took off his shirt and walked into a hot spring.He sat there with his head tilted back and with his eyes closed not thinking of anything at all. Jing had black hiar. He onley had his boxers on as his cloths were to the left of the pool he was in. His cloths cosisted of a large yellow overcoat and black pants and a matching shirt. Around Jings neck was a neck was a chain with a glowing blue cristal.He had a silver bag to the left of his cloths and on his cloths was a blue sun.

Lilith had been in one of the pools of water when she had heard someone approach.Immediately she had jumped out and hide behind a nearby tree.She watched as the young human took off his shirt. He had closed his eyes which she thought was not the best thing to do around here.You really never knew who might be hiding behind a tree.She laughed as she realized she was the one behind the tree this time. She was only wearing a white dress that she wore sometimes when she was swimming.The boy didn't seem to be trouble, so she decided to fly up to him."Pardon me sir but I do believe you have taken over my spot." She smiled her best smile so she wouldn't frighten the man.

Ranewen happened to be walking by the Falls when she had spotted something out of the corner of her eye. The pixie on her shoulder tapped her and pointed towards a hot spring. “What?” she asked the pixie in a low tone before looking over where the pixie was pointing. The kid, you idiot… There’s a kid over there… Abyss told her and shook her head in disappointment. The wisp stopped and turned itself to look at the springs as well, soon followed by the pseudodragon’s gaze. She just stood there, looking at him for a moment or two, wondering what she should do.

(I'm sorry if I interrupted. :unsure: )

(You didn't interfere. It's an open topic, dear. ^_^)

Jing opened his eyes.* I am sorry.* Jing said with a smile and then looked to find a nother pool but they were all full of people.* Um.... would you mind sharing this, there are no other open pools.* Jing still had a smile on her face. As Jing awited her answer he noticed a woman looking at him.* Um... would you happen to know the person who is looking at us???

Lilith turned to look at the person he was talking about.She had a pixy swarming about her and it was sort of funny the way it was buzzing around.She giggled and looked back to the boy. "I guess I will have to share with you and no I do not know that person.Maybe we should invite her over since she seems very interested in you." She got in next to human and relaxed in the pool.She waved at the person staring so intently at them. "Do come over!" She yelled at the woman.

Jing blushed a little as lilith got into the pool with him. Jing was normally always nervous when girls were close to him for some reson. Jing looked over to the other woman that was watching. If she came too he would be even more nervous.

Ranewen raised an eyebrow as the pixie flicked her in the ear, which made her flinch for a moment. Slowly, she made her way over to the pool and sat on the side by Lilith, her face still blank of expressions. Her expressions were armored; it seemed, behind her slightly pale skin and dark blue eyes. Only a select few could access her emotions, which were all of her friends. She wondered what they wanted from her, so she waited to be asked a question. The pixie kept on buzzing around her head, trying to make Ranewen angry. Rae, however, completely ignored her urgings and looked at both of them. “Sorry if I was staring… I tend to stare at people who are a lone for a moment,” she apologized, wondering if they were going to hurt her like her parents would have done if they were still a live. But that was, however, over 180-some years ago, when Ranewen was a human. Now, she was a fallen angel and had done many evil things to cause her to stay fallen.

Jing looked down to the clear blue water. His face was bright red. Jing looked at both of them qukily and then back down. He was even nervous around his freinds that were female. Jing was thinking why was he always so nervous around wemen. He couldent put a finger on it though.

Lilith sensed no immediate danger from either person.She had used her little gift to figure out if either were evil.She stared at the woman's wings.She wasn't going to just blurt out what she was thinking, but she really wanted to ask what she was.Lilith had no sense of what people where these days.It was easier many, many years ago when their weren't so many mix breeds and everyone hid from who they were.She sighed.It's okay.It just looked as if you recognized this boy.Oh and by the way I haven't introduced myself to either of you.I am the faerie Lilith." The woman looked very strange even to her. She turned to the boy and smiled at him.She just loved humans.And was slightly envious of them."What is your name young man?" It really seemed as if the boy was blushing.Lilith giggled at that.

* My...um...Im... Jing.* Jing said still staring at the water. Jings blushing went down to a small pink when he told them his name. He was able to smile a bit and look at them.* Um.. hello lilith it is a plesure to meet you.* He said holding out his hand while looking at lilith. It was very surprising that he had almost stoped blushing. For some reson he felt comfertable around the farrie. He wasent sure about the fallen angel. Her wings made him a bit nervous.

Lilith smiled her famous smiled and took his hand gently.She shook it lightly."Well Jing, it would seem you aren't blushing as much now.I do have the affect on people.Now what is a boy of your age doing about these parts?I always travel around to meet new people.I just love a good story.I can listen if you will tell." She looked down at herself and realized her dress was slightly see through.If she had been modest, she would have blushed.But she just smoothed down her dress and looked back up to the woman with the wings."And what is your name mi'lady?"

“I am Ranewen… The Fallen Angel,” she stated and nodded her head quickly, not smiling or anything. She hid her emotions, no matter if they were friend or foe. “And that’s my pixie, Abyss, pseudodragon, Jordison, and my Wisp,” she said, nodding towards each of them. She laid her weapons, two of which were the only five ever created in Imythess, out next to her, keeping them close enough to her in case she needed to draw one for some strange reason.

Jing started to blush when lilith shook his hand, but it qukly faded.* I have been searching for my family to no avail. I have found my brother, but I cant find my dear parents.* Jing said looking down again.* What if I never find them.* A tear came to Jings eye and splashed into the water.

Lilith looked at the pixy.It really didn't seem to like her and she could guess why.Faeries and pixies were easily mixed up if you didn't really know what one looked like.But faeries were way, way taller than little pixies and she felt they held an animosity towards all faeries for that.She thought about what she knew of fallen angels.This didn't look like it was going to be fun.

“No need to worry if I’m going to do anything bad… I may be a fallen angel, but that doesn’t mean I am evil to everyone, everywhere, every time,” she stated, while looking at Abyss who was glaring at the faerie. She flicked the pixie and told her to hush. The pixie blushed and flew off elsewhere in the woods. She had told Ranewen she would be back later on when she was done. The wisp closely followed, as the two loved to cause havoc together. But hey, a little havoc can’t hurt anybody, right?

She was grateful that the annoying little pixy was gone. "I guess we all have our bad days.Maybe you just had a really, really bad day." She really didn't want to know why the angel had fallen.She watched the boy as a tear fell down his cheek.She sorely wished she had the ability to heal internal wounds like she could outside ones.But that magic had not been granted to her.She took one of his hands in hers."I will help you find them.Please do not cry."

Jing looked at the faerie.* Thank you.* Jing said sniffking a bit. By this time Jing wasent nervous around the two wemen.* Lilith, you have been so kind to me although we just met, Thank you.* Jing said looking at her noticing her dress was see through now and looked back down to the water. Jing tryed not to look a Liliths wet white dress.

Lilith giggled at Jing's obvious embarrasment."Okay I'll let you two talk while I go over to my bag and put on some more clothes.I'm done swimming for the day anyways."She smiled encouragingly at both of them hoping they might hit it off.She trampled back over to her bag and pulled out a deep, blue dress.She put it over her head and pulled on her boots."Ah yes there we go." She mumbled to herself.She sat down for a moment to let the other two talk.

Jing waches lilith get out of the water. He smiles a bit and then turns around.Do I like her. Jing asks him self. I Do dont I? Wait what if I dont? What if I just think I do? Jing was very confused. He never felt this way about someone before. She was so nice to him, so conferting. Jing looked to Ranewen.* Um, sorry I didnt catch your name, what was it again??* Jing then noticed lilith changing and turned around so he wouldent be able to see her. Jing started to blush once more but this time he had a smile on his face. He looked down at his reflection and noticed that he had a smile on his face amazingly.

“Ranewen…” she stated simply, looking at the water. For some reason, she thought it’d be her weakness since she was a pyro. Actually, her pyromaniac self aided Lothlómendil in setting the Elfsong tavern aflame. This thought made her smile on the inside for a moment as she was flicked in the ear by her dragon’s head to pay attention if Jing said anything to her. She usually drifted away off topics to think of something else she had done and she would totally miss out on what the other person had said.

Lilith walked back over to Jing and Ranewen, "Well I see you both haven't tried to bond..ah well.I hope this blue dress is alot better for you Jing.If you two are hungry, I can go out and hunt for some food.I'm not the best cook in the world, but I do quite fine.Then we can discuss more of our journies." She smiled pleasantly and looked from one to the other. Ranewen seemed to be off in her own world and Jing was staring at the water.*Hmm they don't seem like very talkitive people.I think I need to break them of that habit.*She thought. Then she broke out into a song about her favorite place,Norwood Lake, to try to break the tension.

Jing looked at Lilith as she began to sing. Liliths hevenly voice cought his ears.* I have never heard that song before. Did you write it???* Jing said smileing.* Ill go hunting with you Lilith.* Jing said looking into Liliths beutiful blue eyes.* I am not to good a cook either. In fact I am terrible.* Jing lied. Jing was actually a very good cook. He was just trrying to make Lilith think she was a good cook.

She grinned."Why yes I did write it myself." She was pleased that he seemed to like the song."I am very happy you will go hunting with me.In no time we will have plenty of food for us all.How about I cook half and you cook half so we can see who is the better cook!" She laughed and set about getting her cooking materials out.She produced her cooking pot,bread,butter,and an earth bowl. She was never any good at making fires so she thought she'd ask one of them to do it."Uh would one of you start the fire when the time comes?" She got out her dagger and set off into the woods, hoping Jing would follow her.

Out of Jings left sleeve his dagger of ansetrial fire poped out. He grabbed it in his right hand as it lit aflame.* It should be no problem strting a fire.* Jing said smileing. Well lets go. Jing fallowed Lilith into the woods. Jing kept looking behind him waiting until they were far away from Ranewen.* Um...Lilith...I think you should know somthing...Well I....Ya see the thing is... I really like you, alot.* Jing said sttudering a bit. Jing stood in one spot awaiting her reaction.

Ranewen rolled her eyes slightly and shook her head as she tapped her staff, muttering a few words. Soon enough, a creature that looked like it was made of rock, yet in its creases were lava, appeared by her side. Its form was in the shape of that of a tiger’s. His eyes seemed to burn with flames in them, as he had come to her aid from the plain of fire, obviously. With a slight smile, she stroked the animal that would most likely burn anyone else who would touch it. “We should be leaving,” she told the pseudodragon who had stayed with her. “But they probably will think that they insulted me somehow…” she muttered in a low tone. The people in the other spring’s pools leapt out as they heard the voice of her and then saw a tiger-like being standing at her side. They jumped behind trees and bushes, quickly dressed, and seemed to run as if their life was in danger. If she were truly an evil person, she would have chased them down on the fire-demon’s back, but she had let them go easy, even though they had insulted her. Her slight smile faded as they disappeared in the distance and she shook her head, then leaned it on the creature’s side, looking into the hot springs where the faerie and the human once where.

*walking through the hot springs, Kore was just looking for something to do. After his first match in the tournament, he was hoping to find a place where he could relax. Not seeing much place else, he sighed and walked slowly though the area. His pixie was beginning to become a real pain as both her and his wisp were chasing eachother around his head. Kore trying to see what was in front of him, couldn't see that he was walking straight into Ranewen.*

Hey Kore I think hyou should watch where you're going... Yeah yeah, I would, but only if you would stop chasing Entem around my face. But I'm not chasing him, he's chasing me because I called his cousin an accumulous cloud *Entem made a few high pitched noises which sounded like he was angry and continued to chase her* Damnit the both of you stop it! *he reached out and tried to grab the both of them. Laughing, both Entem and Penalia move out of the way just in time for Kore to walk straight into Ranewen, the both of them falling to the floor. Instinctively he turned to the side so he would take the bulk of the impact. Looking up at her after he fell, he smiled and shrugged. Penalia and Entem were both in laughter as their master fell.* Sorry bout that. Penalia and Entem were fighting around my face and I didn't even see you.

Ranewen smirked from the ground and brushed off her arm for no apparent reason; the fire creature’s head turned to inspect Kore, but Ranewen whispered something and it then returned to its laying down position. “It’s okay,” she admitted and then added, “Long time no talk, eh?” sarcastically as she leaned against the fire creature once again. “I got four new summoning spells,” she said happily and smiled. “I now have summon nature’s ally, summon fire, water, earth, and air. I told you I’d be a summoner one day,” she smirked and looked at him in the eyes for a moment. Her wings draped against the ground as she looked at him, her lips still in a smile for some reason, for she couldn’t get it off of her face. Just seeing him now, made her feel happier, even though the hatred still circulated in her veins.

Lilith walked into the woods searching for movement.She lifted off the ground with her wings and flew into a tree.She wanted to be up here so she could think about what Jing had just said.*He is quite handsome but he is just a boy!I barely know him as well.Ah what to do what to do.* She sighed to herself and spotted a large bird flapping its wings trying to land on a branch.She fluttered over to it and stared into its black pupils."Oh what a pretty bird you are.I don't think I want to be eating you for dinner."As she said that it squawked at her and hit her from the tree with its large wings.She made an 'humph' noise and fell from the sky.

*Smiling as she didn't have a problem with his clumsiness. Slowly, he rose to his feet and chuckled. He usually didn't venture into many places, and he knew why-his creatures would act up and make a fool out of him. He though--I can only imagine what will happen when Lilith grows up--. Looking up at the fire elemental, he got wary, but her assurance put him at ease.* A fire elemental, eh? And you also have a water, earth air, and you can summon a creature native to the woods...that's awesome. Yeah right Kore, you're afraid of that thing. *he sighed and paid no attention to his pixie.* Well, I've been regaining some of my powers back. It's a slow process, but everytime I remember more...it sometimes make me feel that I don't want to stop at what I remember....to go on to be the greatest necromancer ever. But let me not get ahead of myself. *he looked around, then his gaze fell upon her. He couldn't say that this place wasn't nice, and running into her wasn't nicer, but it was odd how the first person he wanted to see after his tournament win was here.* So what brings you here?

Ranewen shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, “To be honest with you, I don’t know… I happened to be walking by and the springs were here and I saw two people that were a lone. They’re out hunting at the moment,” she said and nodded her head towards the direction where they had gone off to. “Honestly, I think that boy likes the faerie, Lilith,” she said and smirked a bit, her weapons spread out right by her, the Ring of Light on her finger. “Did you win your first match?” she asked, for she hadn’t been able to get into the stadium, as all of the seats were filled by the time she had reached the entrance. She was quite angry and thought about torturing the guard, but she forced herself to be nice. She then looked over at Kore and sat up straight, her arms on the ground at her sides to support her light weight to keep herself balanced.

The fire creature had readjusted its body on the ground so its head was between Ranewen’s arm and her side, his eyes gazing up at Kore. They weren’t full of hatred, more of warning him not to do anything too stupid or he would be forced to act. “So, you’re getting your powers back, eh?” she asked rhetorically and nodded her head. “The controller of the dead has come back,” she teased and smirked a bit at him. For some reason, her lips would not stop turning into some sort of smile, whether it be a smirk or an actual smile, it would not go away. She was not bothered by it, but it was quite new to her.

*he looked off in the direction of where she pointed out, attempting to see where they were. After failing he shrugged and looked back at her.* Yeah, I won the first match, and boy did I have to earn it.*he groaned a bit as he shifted his weight, irritating the gash on his midsection* I can't beleive that they wouldn't let you in. In the next match, I'll make sure you have front row seats--I plan to make it to the top and decimate all who oppose me. *his blood was pumping and his eyes started to fade to black as he thought of the sweet havok he would wreak. He looked off into the distance a bit and an evil smile appeared on his face. After a few moments he realized what he must look like and shook his head, his eyes returning to its original color. Looking back at her, he saw her smiling at him.--she has a sweet smile...its soothing--

I'm slowly getting my powers back, and then some. *when she called him the controller of the dead, he instinctively corrected her.* No, its the Master of the de...hey how did you know about that name? Everyone who didn't know me called me the controller, yet whoever met me proclaimed me master....*he then realized he was taking it out of hand, so he dropped the topic and shrugged, a smile creeping on his face, this time not evil and more pure. He looked oround the area, then looked back at her* Is there anywhere where I can relax?

She nodded her head towards the springs that she was sitting by. “It’s good enough I think…” she said and smiled. She looked down at the fire creature and smiled at him a bit. Although it looked dangerous to some people because he was made of fire, she pat him on the head gently and looked at the numerous springs around. “I scared the people away with him,” she said and nodded her head down towards the creature she had summoned only moments before he had come. She yawned slightly and slouched down onto the shoulder of the over-sized wolf-looking creature made of fire. She blinked slowly and watched him through her dark blue eyes. The inner-demon inside of her luckily, was still locked away. Should I tell him about it now? Or later? she asked herself and shrugged.

She looked up at the sky, then. It was a light blue color with the sun in it. White cloud, parts of them transparent, moved slowly across the skies with the wind, which blew through Rae’s black hair. For some reason, she had the urge to throw her arms around Kore, but she pushed her urges aside and forced herself to keep still instead of moving around as if uncomfortable, which she always seemed to be. She stretched, causing her back to crack. She then looked at Kore again and smiled slightly. He must think I’m stupid for smiling so much all of a sudden… she thought gloomily and shook her head slightly, looking down at the ground, seeming to be ashamed.

Jing watched her as she flew up as if she was ignoring him. He looked around and sighed.* Then he saw a bear. Lilith what about a bear. We could eat a huge bear.* Jing said in a loud wisper. Jings stomach rumbled as he looked at the bear faceing the other way, not noticing them. Jing was ready to attack while waiting to see if lilith wanted a bear.

Lilith kept falling and she hit a grassy spot.She made an "umph" sound and stared at Jing."You could have helped me!" She stared angrily at him and then smiled."A bear would be more than perfect.Would you like to kill him or would you rather I do it?" She got up and brushed the grass off.She was upset that it had left a big grass stain on her pretty dress.*Ah what do I do to deserve these things.* She quickly dismissed the bad thoughts and stalked over to Jing.

Well....you scared 'em all away. More space for us, and now we get to pick whatever springs we want.*He groaned for his muscles were aching from the bout. He began to take his gear off slowly, his swords clanking as they hit the ground. He then loosened the demon claw from his wrist and placed it on the floor. While he was leaned over, he untied his boots and slipped his feet out of them. He then took his cloak off and placed it on top of his stuff.*

ahh.....how relaxing to have all that weight off. Yeah, I knew you were a lazy bas *he grabbed Penalia, then shook her up a bit* You know, it would be nice if you just took lilith and entem and just had some fun....away from here. I'll whistle for you guys when I'm ready to leave, ok? *Penalia shook her head a few times then took Entem and Lilith and wandered around the area. He looked over to her and laughed briefly. He noticed she was smiling a lot, and it seemed like she was either enjoying herself or happy to see him. Either way it was alright with him cause he was happy to be here, enjoying her company, but he wouldn't let her know...--it might get awkward--* Sorry about that, she gets a little annoying at times....*he nodded and looked at the spring* After you

(OOC: I thought ever time you said Lilith you were talking about me!I didn't know it was the name of your animal!!! :P )

* Sorry I was paying attention to the bear.* Jing reached his hand and helped her up.* If you want to kill it go ahead but if not then I will.* Jing smiled at her as he spun the hand gaurd on his finger.* I hope ranewen isnt to lonly.* Jing said quietly so the bear wouldent hear him. The bear started to walk away from them.* Hurry and decide.

“I don’t usually sit in water, but I’ll put my feet in…” she said and then put her shoeless feet in the warm water and scooted towards the edge. The fire creature followed her, making sure that she wouldn’t be harmed by this stranger – to him, at least. She smiled lightly again before she found the real person inside of her and settled down a bit, to her expressionless face. She rubbed her arm and sighed lightly, shaking her head for a moment to try and realize what was going on. How come I feel the way I do? she asked herself and shrugged her shoulders. Her eyes looked down at the water as she leaned back on her hands for support. She looked back at the fire creature and smiled, petting its head once again and then thought about what he had said… Too true… Now no one’s around to bother us… she thought and looked around a bit.

Ranewen thought she had heard Abyss coming back from playing i n the woods, but she was hearing things again. Literally, again. She had been hearing things for a long time. She just sighed lightly and closed her eyes for a moment, leaning back on the fire-wolf. She then opened them slightly and looked up at the light blue sky, watching the clouds move with the breezes that swept by them, playing with Ranewen’s hair and clothes. The winds also danced with the leaves and the grass, causing the leaves to be thrown into the air and the grass to sway. She then closed her eyes once more and shifted her feet in the water slightly.
