Jasmine was walking out into the open desert away from the oasis city. She wanted to try out her new spells and see what they looked like in action. She was hoping that she would come across a gigantic sand worm to fight and test her skills. She came to a spot where the sand was soft and the air was oddly cool. She looked around to see anyone was there to make the air seem so cool in such a hot and dry desert. She did not see any one around. She waived her hand in the area where the air seemed to cool and she got the chills. She turned on her heal and left that area. She was not in the mood for anything our of the norm right now.

Jasmine had been walking through the desert for almost half an hour now. She would only go so far and made sure that she was able to see the oasis city from a distance. That way she would not get lost and die in the heat. She was going in circles, following wherever her feet took her, She came to an oasis out in the middle of nowhere. She noticed that she had strayed to far away from the city and could not see it anymore. The looked down to the ground and cursed under her breath. She was lost right now. She stood there in the heat, wondering if she should meander on back to the village and hope to be lucky and find it, or if she should go to the oasis and see if there was anything to eat and drink. The heat she had been in for about an hour made her tired and want to sleep.

Jasmine walked under the palm tree leaves and was pleased to feel the shadows crawl on her back. It was nice and cool in the shadows of the trees. Water could be heard just some feet away and small animals were jumping around on the ground and in the trees. She sat down and leaned her head against the trunk of a tree. Her eye lids grew heavy and her breathing deeper. She was falling asleep. She tried to stop her self from dozing off but it just felt so good and comfortable that it seemed to overpower her. Her eyes finally closed and she fell asleep in the oasis.

Jasmine heard a noise near her feet and jumped up into the air. She had awaken right away and looked at her feet. It was only a little rodent searching for food. She laughed and shooed the little critter away. The oasis was a lot darker than it had been earlier this day. Jasmine got to her feet and walked out of the bushes. She came out to the open desert and a black sky covered with stars shining above. The moon was very large and brilliant. Jasmine smiled and laughed at her self. How could she have been so stupid to let her self fall asleep? Now she is lost and has no where to go. Her phoenix is to young and small to fly and she has no other familiars to ride.

Mithranduir usally walks through the Istan Desert once in a while. He came to the Oasis he called Lokerian meaning island in the sand in elvish. He saw a woman standing there admiring the moon and stars then in the moonlight he saw her fair face and he noticed it was Jasmine. He then walked up to her and said You can see the stars the best in this desert. I suppose you already found this out right Jasmine? He then stood next to her and waited for a reply. He then continued saying Do you come out here often? Or is this your first time? He said as he got some water for his pouch.

Jasmine turned around expecting to see Mith. She saw him and smiled. They had known each other a little bit and she was happy to see him. She was thirsty and did not know if the water in the oasis was safe to drink. She turned back to the sky and watched the stars. He was right. The stars did shine aweful bright. She stayed looking at the stars and said, "Hello Mith. Nice to see you at this time of night. It is so quiet out here i thought it was that would be coming. Something told me that I would be seeing you this day." She saw the pouch of water that he had taken out and stared at it. She was quite thirsty. "Ummm... Mith may I please have some of your drink. I am dying of thirst."

Mithranduir chuckled as he said I take it you have been wandering around here sense late-mourning. Here you go. *Hands her water* Why did you come out here anyway Jasmine? He said wondering as he wistled for shadowfax to come out of the Etheral plain.

Jasmine grabed the water and put it to her mouth. She drank so much that water was slipping down her cheeks. She finished with it and gave it back Mith. Jasmine wasvery thankful for him. She would have been forced to drink the water of the pond near by and possibly gotten sick. She looked at Mith and said, "I was wandering out in the desert, looking for a giant sand worm to fight. I want to test out my new spells." Jasmine walked out onto the sand and looked up to the stars. She wanted to summon her fire elemental.

Mithranduir smiled deviously like he knew something she didn't Well you weren't looking in the right place. There hasn't been a sand worm around here for ages. But over there Mithranduir said pointing on the oppisite side of the oasis. We will head over there in the mourning if you wish. I know a wonderful place that at the least four or five sand worms come up in the mourning. In the afternoon 3 come up and in the nightime 2 to 1 come up. So don't worry you will get many chances to battle with your new-found powers. Then he went to grab the water pouch from her cause he thought she was done.

Jasmine's eyes lit up as she heard this news. She would finally get a chance to test her powers. She smiled and hugged Mith. She was happy. An excuse to use her fire spells. She wanted to see destruction and blazing fire. She could not wait for the next morning. Jasmine took one last gaze at the wonderful stars and went back under the palm trees of the oasis. The night was growing cold and so took her folded up tent and pitched it up. She went inside and poked her head out. "You are welcome to come in if you would like. I would rather you not sleep out in the cold. I have three sheets so we may use different ones." Jasmine looked at Mith and hoped that he was not thinking that she was trying to seduce him or even making a move because if he was, he wouldbe wrong.

Mithranduir looked at her to see if she was trying to make a move on him. But she didn't strike him as the type. So he said Ok thank you for you kindness. Not many people especally women would let a man sleep within 20 feet of them. Thank you. Then he walked over to the tent opening and opened for her saying Ladies first. He smiled. He didn't want to suduce her ethier. He hardly knew her and He only liked her as a friend.

Jasmine smiled. She really did not want him to sleep out in the cold. Who knew what might come out of the shadows and attack. Jasmine was a different kind of girl. She did not care if the person slept just a few feet away from her. As long as that person did not get her nerves then he or she could have whatever they wanted, as long as Jasmine could give it to them. She went into the tent and lied down and fell asleep before Mith could even speak. She was very tired. She had been wandering through the desert for more than half the day and the heat alone had drained a lot out of her. She would dream of what her new spell would be like in action.

Zero was wandering in the dark Istan Desert. The moon was there and so were the stars that seemed to shine allnight. Though the sun had gone down a little while ago, the moon still gave off a little light as well but not quite. Zero kept walking for at least a few hours already though he managed to survive out side, he had all the water he needed with him. Though there wasnt too much light around, Zero needed to see exactly where he was going. A small blazing sphere appeared from his hand and it seemed to get even bigger. This was now enough light so he could see and get through the plalce. He walked even more, but then it came to him, he saw somthing very strange, somthing that he didnt really want to think about as he saw a man step right in a tent with a girl. Zero didnt want to get the thought, but he did anyway. He tried really hard to get this out of his mind, the thought was sick. "Oh GOD!! people these days, they now just seem not to care about their privacy." Zero didnt want to get near this but then he didnt want the people in the tent to know that he was nearby. All of a sudden his blazing sphere of fire went out of control and made a huge fire around him, illuminating the place. This would get the attention to the people in the tent which Zero did not want to. But it did anyway. Lucky for him the fire went out as it landed in the sand. He would expect people to come out of the tent as he made a huge disturbance.

Hopefully he wouldnt get on no ones bad side right now. Zero didn know what to do next.All he could do was wait there for anything spontaneous to happen.

Jasmine woke up from the loud noises outside. She was very angry that she had to be woken up like this. She sat up and called Calphurnia. She whistled very loudly and the bird came flying at high speeds from the sky. Jasmine jumped out of the tent and cried,

"Beatus offa Fieri!"

At those words the sky turned red and a great rumbling voice was heard. There was a loud and fiery crash just about fifty feet away from the stranger. The beast of fire got up to its feet and looked at the stranger. It pointed its finger at him and said,

"Impedimentum amaritudo balnearius."

After the elemental said that, huge balls of fire fell from the sky and fell near the stranger. Jasmine told him not to kill the stranger, so he did not. The fiery balls came close to the stranger and spit out magma. Calphuria came down and landed near the summon. She screached at the poor wanderer and flew up again and went to Jasmine. She got on the phoenix and flew to the stranger. She had her katana out in her hand and was ready to fight. She had Calphurnia land near the stranger and put the sword to his neck. It was dark and she could not see his face. She was not letting back with the sword to his neck.

"Speak you fool. Who do you think you are coming to this place at this time of night. I will not have anyone steal my possesions. I will not let any hoodlums harm me or my friend here. State your name and your business!"

Zero heard a familiar voice but since there had been an attack that he soon had to stop he would have to defend himself. The sheild of faith was now casted around him protecting him from the katana that came towards him especially the pheonix. Her attack was now deflected and bounced off the shield casted on Zero. The burning rocks as well had vanished as they hit his sheild, lucky for Zero he had somthing usefull protecting him. Though he didnt sheath out his Master blade nor his Angelic sword, he was not even going to attack at someone he knew instantly from the sound of her voice, instead he spoke out loud and clearly to be heard, You need to stop this Jasmine, I highly suggest you call off all your creatures and their attacks toward me!!" He took a wild guess to who it was and mentioned Jasmines name when he had spoke. His shield would fade once she stopped. He looked closer and noticed it was really her. His purple eyes shined out and could be seen clearly. He would speak to her and give her an explanation to her once she did as Zero said. Though Zero did want to call out Darunia if she kept going.

Jasmine looked more closely and smiled. She found out that it was Zero. She looked at the elmental and un summoned him. The fiery beast exploded into millions of bits of fire and ash. Calphurnia came to Jasmine and swept her up. Now Jasmine was in the mood for fighting. She had been woken up and disturbed. She saw Rich standing there and she smiled at him. She was not mad or anything. She just saw what she could do and she wanted more of it. She really enjoyed seeing the fire all over the place. She liked being consumed by the entity of fire. She loved the smell of ash and molten rock. She wanted more and she did not want to stop. She tood on her phoenix and spoke to Rich.

"Hello Zero. I am happy to see you. I am sorry to have startled you or maybe have hurt you. Now I am in the mood to spar and test my skills. I want more. I hope you are ready Rich."

Jasmine sat down on her phoenix and screamed into the air. Her voice echoed through the desert for miles. It was booming and strong.

"Accendo caelestis provecta, abicio ardor vester auxilium!"

The clouds came turned dark once more and struck a bolt of fire at Jasmine. Her armor was bright with a red glow and her katana steaming. Her phoenix grew to full size and burst with flames. Out of the sky came Jasmine's fire elemental named Asmodaï, meaning Creature of Judgement. It landed on the ground creating a large explosion. It looked up at Jasmine and waited its command.

Zero wanted to laugh at what she had said but then he decided not to. He answered her back instead. Hah! No you didnt hurt me, but you did try to kill me and didnt bother on checking to see who it was. But then Zero got a look on his face, she had mentioned the words "I want more. I hope you are ready Rich" Ready for what? Zero didnt know what. Though he got the feeling that she wanted to have a little match with him. Zero had no idea what she had been doing when she yelled out loud to where she could possibly be heard from long distances. Jasmine, what are you doing? Are you expecting a fight out of me?

Zero noticed that she had summoned her elemental being that gave Zero a hint that she did expect a match out of Zero. Jasmine I have no time for games right now. I have no idea what your playing at. What ever it is, please tell me, I would like to know what your up to at this moment. He waited there for an answer and if Zero thought what he had thought then he would questioningly ask again for more of an explanation. He spoke to her once more. Are you planning on fighting me to the death? Seriously I have no idea what your doing, so I will wait patiently on you to tell me what you planning. He did as he said and would wait for some kind of explanation from her and what she is playing at. Zero was very curious.

Jasmine saw Asmodai start walking toward Rich. She glared at it and yelled at it to stop. The elemental looked up at her and looked displeased. Jasmine made Calphurnia fly down a little bit so Jasmine could be heard better. She looked back at Rich and said,

"Get ready Rich. I want to duel. I will not kill you. I want to see what more I can do with my fire....... My precious fire. Quick. Summon your elemental and let us duel. I want to fight!"

Jasmine flew up into the air with Calphurnia, laughing hysterically. She flew up into the black clouds causing them to turn red from Calphurnia's flames. The surroundings did not look like it was dark anymore, but looked like as if it were a bright red sunset. Jasmine was going out of control with her fire spells. The love of fire magic was starting to take over her. She flew back down into site from the black clouds. Ash was falling from all over the place and the air was warming by the minute.

Zero then nodded his head left to right. If thats what she wanted then Zero would gladly except her challenge. Uhhh.... Zero then sighed. Ok then why not. I will summon Darunia, if your not familiar with him he too is my fire elemental. So get prepared. Zero then pulled out his Flaming wand that seemed to glow a fire. He moved it swiftley around back and forth, left to right and conducted it to summon Darunia.
Flames began to scatter and and shook the ground heavily as if an earthquake occured. Magma began to to melt out of the sand and then Darunia would come forth from beneath the ground. As he began to rise his arms were noticable to see them burst to flames. However Zero was allready really excited to see this for his first time. Darunia was now walking the earths floor and then walked over to stand before Zero. Thanks Darunia, I appreciate you for helping me out on this dual. Zero was now ready to have match with Jasmine, and he knew that Darunia would fight for him all the way.Are you ready Jasmine, cause I am. Lets make this a fair one! He now waited for her to attack first.

Mithranduir was sleeping deeply and then awoke to hear spells being cast he darted out the tent and looked around. He then saw a bright light in the sky and noticed it was Jasmine in the sky and an piece of ash fell on his shoulder. He sighed and looked at Zero and ran over to him saying You might want to get shield your head Zero. She is out of control and her fire is about to be smothered! Jasmine get ready for your fall! Then Mithranduir looke to the sky and summoned a storm and then it began to rain. It ranied so hard you couldn't see 3 inches in front of you. He hoped this was enough he didn't want to excert all of his rain just yet.

As the skys began to turn red and Jasmine going insane with her fire, Zero heard a voice from the side of him. He didnt look, Zero kept concentraited on Jasmine as she soared airborne. While Zero scanned her he answered back to Mith. What for Mith, its really uneccesary for me to do so. Do you not know Im similar to her in some ways. I guess you havent seen me when I use fire as well huh! Zero then glanced at Darunia and was happy to see him stand before Zero. He then looked back up, but then he got a little upset that drops of water began to fall on him. The rains began to fall harder and harder, and soon his hair began to soak. Zero was displeased at Mith, Stop that Mith, let the fire be around us. Do not take away our freedom of fire just yet! Zero was beginning to get angry and he wanted the rains to stop. Zero couldnt take it any more, he hated the water to be around when he would enjoy fire at the moment. Zero then conducted his wand around in circles and Darunia had vanished with a blink from Zero's eye. Zero then got his things and began to walk off. This wasnt working and hopfully Jasmine would follow Zero and make it out of this water that kept them from having a dual. Zero would then have to dual with her somother time untill he was away from water for now.

Jasmine had Calphurnia fly way up above the clouds. It was cold up here and they had only one thing to do up here. She wanted to get rid of the clouds. Both Jasmine and Calphurnia started to set the clouds ablaze. This disentigrated them and stopped the rain. Calphurnia was gettin excited with all of this action going on. She swooped down once she saw the clouds had finally died down. They were going at extremely high speeds. Jasmine had to really hang on tight or she would have been blown off by the passing wind. They finally came out of the clouds and soared under the bed that the cloud shapes lay on. Jasmine spotted Mith, the one who started the rain and flew to him. She yelled to him, with fire in her eyes,

"Don't you dare interfere with me and my target. This is my battle!"

Jasmine made Calphurnia fly back up again and spotted Rich. She charged at him on her phoenix, sending many fireballs his way. Calphurnia was enjoying this very much. This was the first action she had seen. She looked back at Asmodai and called him this way. He flew to her, leaving a trail of fire and ash in the mud. Jasmine made sure that she did not to get too close to Rich just yet. Now was not the time. She continued to throw more fireballs at him.

Zero had already walked off and then heard Jasmine yell out to Mith, however Zero paid no attention to this what so ever, he had already lost interest since the water incident, and didnt have time for this anymore. Zero then nodded his head once more left to right as he began to hear Jasmine head his way. Zero kept walking and not looking back. He began to see fire balls hit the ground. still Zero paid no attention to this what so ever. He felt that he might get hit by the fire she kept throwing at him, so his shield of faith was now active protecting him from anything that came to hit him. Zero felt a few bumps hit his sheild now, still he didnt turn around to face Jasmine and hopefully she would get the hint that now was not his time. Mith had gotten Zero in a bad mood by starting this. Zero kept walking and walking avoiding what ever came near him. He thought about flying away soon, but he didnt know if his wings were fully developed and he wasnt sure if he could fly still. He wouldnt stop walking and hopfully Jasmine would stop and ask what was wrong. But for now all he did was walk away.

Varinn set out into the desert at sunset. He always enjoyed the cool winds and air of the desert at night. He walked calmly through the sand, boots sinking slightly when he puts them down, and kicks up sand when he raises them. He savored the icy winds, covering his neck tighly with his cloak for the perfect temperature. Just then he noticed the large storm clouds, and the sound of crackling fire. Varinn ran, hoping it wasn't a dangerous conflict. As he neared he noticed three figures, mostly humanoid. They seemed to have features he remembered from some of men and women he had seem wandering various areas of Imythess. He sighed lightly, it was probably just a small duel. He slowed his pace, taking his time now in reaching the fighting.

Mithranduir looked at her intently he would get the rains to come if it got out of control but he judged her to quick so he waited it out. He then wanted to watch this battle from her Phenoix so he went to gaseous form and used control winds to push him up towrads her he then got to her altitude and floated on the back of her Phenoix and said I hope you don't mind me floating here. You won't feel any weight. I am Gaseous form so it's good. Do you mind Jasmine? He then saw Zero walking away so he summoned a circle of tornados to go around him he only had 4 ft radius within the circle. He then said to him in a loud enough voice so he could hear Mithranduir Zero don't leave. Please. I won't let it rain again. Ok? Please stay. Mithranduir said then he turned his concentration to Jasmine who was attackin Rick. Wow! Mithranduir thought she isn't bad with a flame. He cuckled to himself as he thought of the saying "You got burned" Meaning you lost your girfriend. She could do it literally.


Mithranduir looked over to another man instead of walking away he was walking towards the battle slowly. He then turned to him and said You there. Come here meet me by the Ice wall. He pointed to the wall of ice coming up 10 ft. from wehre the man was walking. He then floated down to the Ice Wall and turned back to felsh form and folded his wings and waited for him to join him.

Virann warily stepped toward the wall of ice. He didn't want to mess with someone holding that much power, but was still curious about the other two, and what was going on. He figured he could get the answers from this man, and continued on. He stopped in front of the ice wall, which seemed to somehow grow right from the sand. "Okay, what did you want?" Virann held his up slightly, to show he had no weapon drawn.

Mithranduir then replied saying I was just wondering what a man was like you was doing in the desert at night and in the middle of a battle. Then the lce wall went away and he continued My name is Mithranduir but everyone calls me Mith. What is your name? Why are you here? Sorry for the rudeness I am just a direct person. Then he made another ice wall 2 of them but these were short and flat so you could sit on them. He sat down and gestured for Virann saying Hope it's not too cold. Then he waited for a reply.

Jasmine saw that Mith had left her to go talk to the wanderer and she sped up and went to Zero. She flew up to behind him and slowed down. Calphurnia went in front of him and stopped and landed on the ground. Jasmine jumped off and went to Zero. She ran up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder in a comforting way. She looked into his eyes and wondered what was wrong. Jasmine tried to see what was wrong in his eyes but she could just not tell. "Rich what is wrong? What happened back there? Why will you not duel? Is it something that I did?"

Zero looked back at Jasmine. She did nothing wrong that offend him. Mainly Mith is the one who caused Zero to shut off. He answered Jasmine back contantly staring back into her eyes. No, you did nothing. Im just not in the mood anymore. You can go and blame Mith for his actions. I just need some time away from him. He got me so angry back there. Its really annoying when you have water coming at you! Zero then turned his head down to look at his left shoulder. He couldnt stand what Mith just did, he would avoid him and ignore him anytime he ever came in contact with him. Zero was going to walk off far away from where the other two remained. And then spoke to Jasmine, Hey Im going over there, to that place. Do you wanna come or do you wanna stay and start yelling furiously at Mith, your choice. But Im heading that way. Zero had gave her two options, which ever was fine. He waited there for a response from Jasmine.

(OOC:this emoticon is the best one out there :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: Yahoooo! Best smiley ever :D )

Jasmine was angered at this. Mith did not have to do that after all, even though that she was not really angry when she did that. She just did not want him to interfere. Jasmine looked back to where Mith was. She left him there where he was talking to that stranger. Jasmine got back on Calphurnia and looked at Rich. She thought for a moment and said,

"Come here Rich. I want you to try and pet Calphurnia. If she does not burn you then you can get on and we will be on our way to the area which you would like to go to. Come. Pet her. I don't think she will bite or burn you. I think she has taken a liking to you."

As Jasmine was on top of her phoenix, she made her bend down so that Zero could pet her. Jasmine told her not to burn him and hopefull she would be cooperative. Both Jasmine and Calphurnia looked at Rich, waiting to see what would happen. Waiting to see if he would be harmed or not.

It might have been so surprising to hear Jasmine say that she wanted to him to ride on her pheonix. He was a little. He looked at her and was happy to hear that they would leave the others behind. He really didnt even want to talk, nor cooperate with Mith. Zero had been so angry. Though he got over it when he heard Jasmine talk about him riding her pheonix. Ummm.... Ok sure no problem, will do! Zero put a little smile on his face and looked at Jasmine as he began to walk towards her and Calphurnia.

Zero reached over slowly and and his left hand coming closer to Calphurnia's head. When his hands touched the pheonix, it was the most warmest thing he had ever touched. It felt like it needed to burn but he left his hand there, it seemed to him as if he put his hands into his own flames which didnt really burn at all.
Zero was ready to ride with Jasmine and would hop on, Ok are you ready Jasmine, everthing is fine nothing really happened. Nice pheonix you have!Zero climbed on Jasmines pheonix and he was ready to leave this spot.
It did seem that Calphurnia liked Zero, she didnt really harm him or do anything.
His smile expanded at the both of them and he was ready.
He also wanted to ask her somthing as well.
