Realm of Shadow

"in that case I have rooms set up for you two" Haou said gestering for them to fallow. "You will need rest Eclipse and I have some gaurds who DON'T like razor who will gaurd you."

Kia was flying around in circles. "I love this place more then home!" She said. They were outside on the roof. Reika growled. "Kia get down from there!" She told her daughter. Kia shook her head and ran face to face into a strange looking wolf. "Gomen!!" She yipped without thinking, falling immediatly onto the roof with a thud. "That hurt!" She whimpered.

"Thank you" Eclipse muttered as he tried to keep his balance...After a few minutes the dizzyness faded and he just felt tired. This allowed him to catch up with Haou and Dusk.

Haou esscorted them to a big room with too comfurtable looking beds. "Wow! Hey Haou those are human beds!" Dusk said. "well it's the best thing I could come up with in sutch a short time. and Human like demons also live in the twilight."

Eclipse suddenly went into polite, elder like mode.
"Thank you for your hospitality Haou and for everything you've done for us."
He bowed and hopped onto one of the beds making himself comfortable.

"haha Eclipse went into elder mode again!" Dusk said jumping onto one of the beds as Haou left the room to go to his chamber.

The timber wolf, with a beautiful bird wing marking on his forehead, tipped his head to one side and bowed, pulling Kia up to her feet. "I appologize, milady, I wasnt paying attention." He said with a kind smile, added to a touch of amber-green eyes. Kia felt like she was melting. She bowed her head in deep respect. "I thank you for helping me up." She told him. Reika rolled her eyes and whispered to Kia. "Look we need to go inside now." She growled. Kia nodded and bowed again. "Im sorry but we must be go-" "Come on!" Reika growled picking her daughter up forcefully and pulling her towards the egde of the roof. "Whats your name?" Kia called loudly. "Its Brutis!" He howled back just as Reika threw Kia into the window, only to land on a soft bed.

Dusk yawns and falls asleep.

Kia stared up at her mother, her eyes flaming. "The first time I meet someone I like and you throw me through a window! Of all the mean, irresponsable-" "Irresponsable? Who has givin birth to you and fed you and taken care of you? I have! If anything, your the irresponsable one!" Reika growled before her daughter could finish. Kia's eyes flamed brighter with anger. "Well you know what?! I wish you werent my mother!!" She snarled, turning around and stomping out of the room. Reika turned pale. "........" Her eyes welled with tears and she began to cry a bit. She jumped through the window and ran towards another part of the castle.

Eclipse got up earlier than usual as he wanted to explore the village. He left his room and stopped briefly to thank the guards who then looked at eachother puzzled. Eclipse then wandered the castle corridors and he eventually found the large gatehouse that led to the village.
Eclipse walked out of the castle and stared in amazement at the sights he was seeing. He also saw a few villagers that were up doing their daily business.
THe villagers that were up gathered to discuss the new explorer.
"Who's he?" said one.
"He's Haou's guest..." said another.
"What would Haou have to do with him?" said a third.
"Don't know but the other one is his reincarnation." said the second one
"How do you know?" asked the first one
"The look similar and he was wearing most of Haou's combat armour." replied the second one.
"Oh...what about this one?" asked a fourth villager.
"Looks like a pitiful but lucky shadowbeing to me." replied the second.
"I know him...he froze a guard into position by just looking at him...I wouldn't go near him If I were you." said a fifth villager who had just entered the conversation.
"That would make sense he is a practitioner of the sacred shadow words..."
said the second.
"Oh... lets just stay away, I don't want him to do anything to me."
The group dispersed as Eclipse got near.

Soon enough Eclipse heard a familiar voice, "Come child time to learn everything I know..." Eclipse nodded and followed Orion to a private place inside the castle. The guards were wary of letting Orion in, but they somehow knew who he was.

Dusk woke up with a yawn. "ouch I think I need to learn how to take this armor off." he said with a stretch.

"You're learning fast child... please use these wisely. Your willpower is developing fast but they will still drain you quickly."
Eclipse nodded
"Child...stay safe and return soon."
"Don't worry, I will return. Even if its only in spirit." said Eclipse walking back to Dusk.

Sashi walked out of the portal. "Uh, where am I?" she asked herself. "Something doesn't seem righ-" she was interrupted by an unbearable amount of pain, followed by even more pain. She dragged herself to a large puddle and looked at herself. She shook her head. "What.. am I?" she mumbled to herself. "That's what I get for listening to a demon! Wait, it said that my friends needed me to come here..." she whispered, looking at herself again. She was twice her size and her tail was puffed out. She could see her fangs and her claws were twice the size they were before. Her ears were huge like her paws and her pupels were black. Her multi-colored fur turned dark and she could hear and smell better. "Okay, I think this is where I shout something like, 'Howl Mutation!' " Sashi smiled and yelled, "Howl Mutation!"

Dusk walked out of the room and greated Eclipse then walked down the hall and out of the caslte. "i hope Haou's right about this village." Dusk said walking towards the village.

Sashi looked around. "Am I in a... prison?" she looked at the bars of the cage. She asked herself, "Uh, am I missing something here?" She looked around and saw a table in the middle of the room and a bookshelf near a wall. "Maybe, just maybe.." she jumped up on the table then onto the top of the bookshelf. There was a small vent and she forced herself threw it. She crawled through the vent system and notices she was in a castle. "What is this, some video game? What, is someone watching a TV and controlling my each and every move?!" she paused.

Dusk stopped infront of the village. "Dusk let me come" Haou said from behind. "h-how did you?" Dusk asked. "I came here from a door in your mind child." Haou laughed. "and I don't think you should go alone"[/b] "who are you my conshionse?"Dusk asked. "haha very funny" Haou said dryly.

Reika finally stopped crying. She layed down and curled up, but decided better of it and went inside the castle again, laying down and falling asleep.

Kia snuck out onto the roof and began to walk around, waiting for Brutis.

Eclipse decided to completely follow in Orions footsteps and he started meditating in his room.

Kia began flying in circles ad she finally saw Brutis and fell onto her back again. She got up and smiled. "Hi Brutis!" She yipped quietly.

after the trip through town. "so why did you go there anyways?" Haou asked. "simple. I wanted to explore!" Dusk said running to the caslte. "he's becoming like me every day."Haou said smiling. "but atleast Razor hasn't gotten ahold of him yet."

Brutis smiled kindly back. "Heya Kia. I wanna show you something kid." He told her, picking her up by the scruff and flying towards a cave.

Eclipse finished meditating and he felt strangely refreshed.
Wow I didn't think i'd get into this so much...

Eclipse walked out of his room with his head held high and his silver stripes shining brightly.

"hmmmm..... I wonder." Dusk said. 'think of yourself flying.' he opend his eyes to see wings. "COOL" he shouted.

Kia looked up. "Where are we going?" She asked. "Oh you will see..." Brutis replied quietly.

Eclipse walked into the village. He left the main gate which took him out into the wildeness but he sat outside just looking at the landscape. The guards who were posted at the gate looked curiously at him but they said and did nothing.
