The truth (open)

[lonewarrior]

Katashi's was covered in a sack cloth garments. (Sack cloth greeves, a sack cloth shirt, and sack cloth sandals.) Katasha's cloths, and hair swished in the wind as he stood atop a hill on a boulder. He scanned one of the burning Wolf Demon Tetsu villages. Tears rolling down his eyes. Katashi wiped away the tears with a fist of anger. He shook his head, other than that he was motionless. Katashi was now homeless, all of his friends were gone. His friends aren't considered friends but family."Damn the Dericioloms. They shall pay." Katashi said, then he turned and walked into the darkness of the night, his green eyes glistening when the blue moon hit off of them. He walked into the forest and hid his scent from the Dericiolom's dogs, and hounds searching for some runaways. Katashi escaped by killing a troll they possessed, and killed a line of people, and ran. He didn't know why they wanted his race for a slave. "They are afraid of our superior speed, strength, stamina, intelligence, and endurance, so they use it for themselves." Katashi thought walking on a path he made by walking along. He was half wolf demon(like most of my characters) so he revealed his human side.

This guy was a mystery to Ever. He looked tough, but he was crying... she didn't know what to think. He didn't look like he was a threat to her, though, so she didn't try to hide. However, he still didn't notice her following him. Actually, she thought it was rather funny. But, she had heard him say that he wanted revenge, and, even though she didn't know anything about these Dericioloms, Ever was always happy to help get revenge.

Katashi walked into the darkness of the forest, furious in his human form." I know you have been following me girly and frankly its god damned annoying. What in the heck do you want?" Katashi said sensing no hostility for if he did he would of ran at her when he first noticed her. Just as that happened he walked into a dark elf camp. Everyone including the dogs looked at him just staring as he misstepped into the watch camp." Damn Elves!" Katashi yelled and turned into his second stage now being a Wolf Demon. He ran at them, one Elf took a spear and lunged it at him he quickly jumped over it landing on the top of the blade forcing too much wait on it so it flew out of the Elf's hand and dug into the dirt ground. He jumped off of it before he went down with it, now the Elf was un-armed. Katashi readied his hand by coocking his hand back and lunged his claws into the girl's face making her bleed to death. Just as that happened five guys with Claymoores came at him. He jumped up into the air as they all converged at the spot where he was if he did not jump quicker he would of been slashed by five swords. The five men's weapons clashed and they recoiled, as Katashi was still in the air he threw five poisoned darts at each one's necks all but one hitting their necks the one that missed he mis angled and it hit his heart. They all fell as he hit the floor. The split second he hit the ground an arrow came hurtling toward his face, he grabbed it with his hand quickly and threw it back at the archer. There was only one left for it was a mere thirteen year old, Katashi stepped forward at the trembling boy and he hid his face in his hands. Don't do this please sir." The kid said trembling not enough heart to look at Katashi's frightening form." Why should I you didn't spare not even a pup of the Tetsu main village tribe." Katashi said picking the boy up by sticking his claws into his throat and lifted him up blood running down Katashi's claws. Katashi threw his head at the boy and bit his neck breaking it by twisting it in his mouth and removing his claws. He dropped the corpse, there was a fire they had going so he took a stick and lit it on fire. He threw it at the tents and they lit into flames."Leave now girl before I kill you too Dericiolom." Katashi said to Eva walking away from the fires.

[~*Ever*~]

Ever had to admit she was impressed, but she had noticed something that the wolf demon hadn't. In his lust for carnage, Katashi had failed to see a final elf hiding in the depths of the forest. This particular elf had the look of a seasoned warrior, and he was stringing an arrow to the large bow that he held ready. He aimed squarely at Katashi, and, just before he let loose, Ever drew a dagger from the sheath strung around her leg. She threw it, and it buried itself directly in the elf's heart, killing him instantly. As he fell, the tension on the bow was released, and his arrow flew into the air. As they say, what goes up must come down, and when the arrow came down, it was headed straight for Katashi. Ever lunged at him and threw him out of the way with amazing strength for someone of her size. However, she wasn't quite quick enough. The arrow came down on her right foot, pinning her to the ground.

Katashi was lunged forward, as this happened he got defensive and took out his claws ready to slash the woman. He looked back and saw an arrow lunge in her foot. He fell to the ground and quickly rolled over. Katashi than got up and wiped his chest of blood from his claws accidentally sticking into his chest whence he fell. He than looked down at the downed girl. He looked around his shoulder at the Elf that shot at her. Or him he just noticed thats why she pushed him. But normally he could of smelled the Elf but since the there was fire it was blocking his senses. So he turned back to the girl. Staying quiet he knelled down over her and roughly, and quickly pulled out the arrow. He saw the blood drip down her foot. It went into her vain so she would need to stay off of it. But he wasn't going to tell her that so she could stick around him. He ripped a narrow strip off of his shirt and wrapped it around her foot. He tied it and un latched his knees, getting up. Katashi turned around not showing his voice he already made the mistake of speaking. He started walking, than stopped and turned his head around looking at Ever. He gave up what harm could she do." Be careful and don't be too active on that foot." Katashi said, than he turned around pausing."If you want I could help you just shut up and after that leave me be." Katashi said in an angry low tone. Katashi wasn't really a mean guy he just frustrated at this time and wanted no more headaches.

[~*Ever*~]

Ever was truly grateful. She knew that he hadn't really wanted to help her, but she was glad he had. Not to say she couldn't take care of herself; heck, she'd had worse than this, and she'd managed just fine. She just didn't want to deal with it right now. She didn't want to annoy the poor guy, because she could see that he wasn't happy at the moment, but she knew that she wouldn't make it very far on her own, and she needed to move. She nodded gratefully to him, said her thank-you's, and figured that maybe she could find a way to help him in return.

[lonewarrior]

Katashi sighed and looked out at the green abyss. Katashi than shifted his gaze to the blazing fires that he just set a flame. "Look don't think that I care for you in any way what so ever. All I am doing is helping somthing before those servants of Dericiolom kill another innocint. I have no place in my heart for any friends so don't expect much talk from me." Katashi said un-empithetically. Than he kneeled besides the woman and reched into his travel sack and put in her hand some sort of herb."Suck on it you will be fine aslong as it doesn't evaporate in your mouth. It'll help you while I get you out of sight and track of the dogs and Dericiolom's servants." Katashi said.

[~*Ever*~]

She obeyed; Ever was used to being submissive and obedient, although it seemed so far from her fierce and fiery personality. Before she put the herb in her mouth, she muttered another meek 'thank-you.'

[lonewarrior]

"Now get up!" Katashi said pulling Ever up by the collar of her shirt. "I am suppose to fade away before anyone comes. Please if you can walk you can run if you can not walk nor run than I shall carry you. But we need to go now so make a decision if you can or can not. Because as I said we need not to waist time." Katashi said looking at his destination in the heavy brush. Not giving Ever a choice for she was taking to long he took Ever's hand a pulled her along to the brush. He pulled a black bandanna over his mouth and nose."Just trail along. Estimated we have a long while to go before you are better well not that long not even a day, though that arrow did hit one of your vital points on your foot." Katashi said with his normal blank depressed face on. His eyes drooped of sadness and his mouth forever frowning. He hid Ever in one part of the brush and him further placing Ever on her stomach where she hid and where he hid he got onto his stomach. Just than swift assassins that were almost undetectable from any mortal or main-lander with there un-developed seances came out from the trees and searched the burning tents for any sign of Katashi. He steadied his breathing and closed his eyes stopping his heart to insure no movements. It was a well learned trick in fact in which requires a lot of patience to do.

[~*Ever*~]

Ever lay there, silent. When she finally got a location on the assassins, which didn't take very long, although it was much longer than she usually took, she began to blend into her surroundings to the point where, if she had been anywhere else, only her bright green eyes would have been visible, but, as she was surrounded by green, even the most well-trained eyes would not have been able to detect her at all...

[lonewarrior]

"There they are." Katashi said to himself. He than made a quick battle strategy in his mind in under a few seconds. He charged out close to the trees so he was almost invisible. He ran into the burning tents and right before he made impact with the tents he jumped into the air. Hidden by the flames he lunged at an assassin. The fire engulfed his legs, than flew off after he went through the wall of fire. The assassin fell as Katashi stuck his claws through his neck. He than kicked another assassins throat with his claws sticking out of his sandals. He than swung the man in his toe claws at another. They both went flying into the flames burning to death. He than used his hand claws at the last two by running up to them and sticking his hands out and killing them by his claws going through one's heart, and the other in the lungs. He threw them into the fires also burning them to get rid of their corpses. He than quickly ran at Ever and grabbed her by her neck, and ran into the forest, leaving no trail behind as he ran silently through the woods. He in a clearing put her down." You okay sorry if I grabbed you by your neck." Katashi said looking suspiciously at where they came from.

[~*Ever*~]

Ever coughed and gasped silently for a moment, the she said, " it's okay... i'll get over it." Suddenly she paused and stood stalk still, listening to the wind as it told her of ten more highly trained assassins headed their way. Then, she whispered urgently, "there's more, and their coming this way, FAST!"

[lonewarrior]

" I can smell them miss and hear remember. The assassins I just killed." Katashi said pausing than turning to her sorrowfully." Understand that miss stay hidden over there." Katashi said pointing to a brush. He than walked over to a tree of to where they were coming, and pressed his back against it. And awaited the assassins.

[~*Ever*~]

Ever shuddered at the size of this creature's ego. Did he not understand that there were some things that he would never be able to find out if left to his own devices?? She could read things from nature that no exaggeration of the senses could ever tell. She turned to her companion and said, "Actually, those weren't the ones I was talking about."

[lonewarrior]

Katashi kept looking over the tree in silence. "I don't care you are hurt I am merely trying to keep you from dieing by the army." Katashi said, finally seeing the assassins. He than seeing an opening for the assassins were looking at Ever. Once there one tracked minds He than still owing her his life for before. He grabbed one of the assassin's arms, and threw him into the others . They fell narrowly missing Ever. He than kicked one in the face which was trying to sit back up hard enough so he fell back bleeding,, blacked out, and eventually bleed to his death. He than threw a star into two's skulls. Katashi, than kicked another, and another he stuck his claws into the mans temple. Another assassin tried to get up, and a little gentler Katashi kicked the man in his temple making him fall down submissively. Katashi than took his dagger out, and sliced three more in the throats, for they were lined up. And finally the last one back flipped up. Katashi thought worthy enough to take out his saber and he did so. The assassin than pulled out two daggers, and ran at Katashi. Katashi closed his eyes to narrow into the man's movements. He than twirled around one dagger as he extended his arm to slice Katashi. As he dodged he had enough time to counter, and he did so by sticking his sword into the man's heart." I don't care what you meant before." Katashi said blood spirting onto his chest as the man managed to curse Katashi and crumple to the ground. " Katashi left the blood on his chest as he brought the blade to his face and sniffed it. He than scowled at the horrible smelling blood. He out of pure sorrow licked the blade clean of blood to clean it, than sheathing it. It was mandatory for he needs to clean the blade of blood before sheathing it but he didn't want the foul man's stench on his clothing. So he merely had to lick it of scent in term. When Katashi finally sheathed his sword he shuddered of the after taste of the elf's blood. " Horrible man he was for his blood was awful." Katashi said coughing on the blood. Than he glared at the mess of bodies. "Also you didn't answer me before can you walk miss?" Katashi asked." Hold on before you do." Katashi said, than he was ambushed by the last remaining assassin whose senses were a little better than the others threw two stars which Katashi met with two more stars, and than he flew down at Katashi, and he managed to cut Katashi's chest, a little deeper, than a normal minor wound. Katashi than angry grabbed the sword as he recoiled to swing again and pushed it down into the mans heart. Coughing up blood, and wheezing Katashi got up to a tree, and slid down the bark into a sitting position. He looked at his chest to see the cut just piercing one of his appendage tunnels. Katashi than grabbed his chest, and coughed up blood. He than looked at Ever. " Are you alright miss?" Katashi said courteously. Not thinking about his dis function.
