*Sen stepped out of the shadow realm that he had been traveling in, and found himself in a side street in the city of Bredena. He walked out into the streets, and started the search, sensing his way around. It would take a lot longer than usual, because the medallion he had given Deawen was cold and silent to him, but it was the only way he could search. His eyes roved to and fro, picking out people that made him suspicious, though they suspected nothing from him. He would not give them cause to suspect him; no, he would give them a cause to fear him...*

Bredena's streets a place full of merchants and traders and thieves... the streets wound and curved recesses dotted the walls stalls full with spices and trinkets alike shoved against one another. the air was spicy and warm people barganing made it hard to hear one clearly. As sen continued the streets became wider and less crowded. He had just passed into the lower class resident district, washings hung over the streets beggars and dogs roam the streets, street children picked pockets and doged the guards. Women sat in alcoves weaving or cooking some sang others silent as the grave. a child young in years sat on a doorstep stroaking a black dog with amber eyes, at it's neck was a black leather studed collar with a Ruby and gold medallion suspended from the collar this was no ordinary dog for the medallion bore Deawens Mark this was Arenel! the dog barked as Sen approached the dog's tail flopped from side to side in greetings. The Medallion suddenly glowed a faint golden light. Arenel went over to Sen tail slowly wagging. :)

*Sen felt the medalion spark for a moment, and looked down. There was a dog sitting there, wagging its tail. Yet that dog looked familiar, and the amulet...*
Arenel!
*Sen shouted, and kneeled down by the dog's side.*
You are my first clue to finding Deawen, and my only clue as of yet.
*He took Arenel's face in his hands, and stared into its eyes.*
Now, can you show me where Deawen is?

Aernel just blinked she made a sound like a sigh she wagged her tail and took off down the street. she rounded many corners and past many markets and houses before stopping just in front of a Monsterous iron gate. the gate was not guarded which was an oddity the hinges were rusted as if the gate had not been used for many years. the iron gate had intricant stories engraved into it. One engraving stood out from the rest it was of a Dragon both wings spanned across the door it's jaws were wide enough to swallow a man whole. Aernel Yipped and pawed at the gate.
the street was suddenly empty those that remained suddenly scrurried into buildings. The shang Desert Dragon stood next to Sen he was grim and forlorn looking " Aer'nentel gariblei brinin" Liam said in a sigh " the gate of Fire, The gate can only be opened by the blood of one of fire. which is why it's not guarded the king feels that none of the Dragons or the fire birds of the north are alive, " Liam chuckled it was soft and dry " little does he know he is sheltering one'
Liam stared at the gate his emotion hidden from view " The Hall of Fire is beyond the courtyard where Deawen is kept, you cannot pass the gate through shadow the Elsents feared your kin and made many wards from anyone passing through shadow into the palace, Be wary once inside Maleon will be aware of your intrusion he may Kill Deawen as he killed Cath...." Liam faded from view
( in your words My lord : " the door can be sealed by anyones's blood but only opened to my blood" )

(OOC: There are more than one way to get past a gate, my Lady Deawen...)
*Sen stepped back from the large gate his eyes wandering over all the traceries. He spotted guards on the bannister; this was too visible an entrance. He might be able to open the door with the power of the Phoenix that resided in his blood, but by that time the whole Hall of Fire would be alerted to him. So he turned, and spoke to Liam.*
Where are the guards the thinnest? You seem to know enough about this place. Also, tell me where there is an alley that is about... so wide inside, if there is any.
*Sen walked for about five steps as he said this, to show the width that he would need.*

Liam Returned Stiffened at Sen's words " of course I know about this place My people built it we are part of it we know what goes on in the city every detail...we used to be the Cofidantes of the Elsents..." Liam side glanced Sen trying to figure out what sen could possibly do with an alley way
"Follow me " Liam said at length Aernel followed at a quick trot. Where ever Liam Went the streets nearby cleared of people doors and windows slammed shut. His presence was not dark but powerful. Liam lead them through massive Arches covered in blue mosaic the street was wide and on the left hand side was the palace wall it served as a stable in times of old now it was empty and silent. " no guards are posted here, they fear it." Liam said bitterly pointing to the wall. no guards could be seen pacing or standing. " Never before had One of the Fire bird entered the palace, this will be a first in all history..." Liam laughed his green eyes danced over the arches. " but as I said Before Maleon will be aware of you once you enter the palace, over this wall is a small garden you will be trapped...Maleon is not powerful enough to tell if it is you that enters,only as a presence a new being if you will. but if I distract him and his men it will give you enough time to find Deawen and get out. " He said as a trace of fire ran down his arm the ground rumbled slightly under thier feet Aernel whinned and moved under Sen's Feet.

*Sen looked up at the wall, and smiled, turning back to Liam.*
Thank you; you have turned out to be a friend rather than an enemy, and I am glad you did so. Whenever you are ready.
*Sen said, and stepped back, black feathered wings spreading to their full length, ready for the downbeat that would take him over the walls.*

Liam Smiled and touched his forehead with two fingers and bowed. Liam faded from view in a mist that formed into a Dragon then dissipated.

Liam stood at the far end of the Street that lead right to the gate he was uncloaked his hair deep brown his eyes emerald green he took long slow sweeping steps each step sent a small shockwave that made the earth groan. he stopped and raised his hands fingers stretching to touch the heavens " FIRE AWAKE!" his voice boomed and shook the foundations of the palace, along the street torches that were not lit suddenly sprang to life outlining the street in flame. the scattered Guards of the great door rushed around forming a barracade across the gate an Alarm bell rang the wall was suddenly filled with soldiers in minutes. Liam Laughed and continued to walk in sweeping steps once in range a volley of arrows was fired at him but the arrows turned to Dust before ever reaching Liam. he approached the Great Gate the earth and stone around the gate trembled but the gate did not budge The Elsents Wards started to work by sending out counter shockwaves. Liam looked up at the trembling soldiers above him raised a hand to them then clenched his hand into a fist the soldiers stared in horror as a Dragon of fire and Mist shot from his hand! the Dragon Roared and consumed the soldiers leaving the wall bare. the Gate trembled as the wards Regonised the Fire that carrassed it.
Maleon Rushed to the gates upper wall he stared down at Liam in amazment. The gates Tumblers and mechanisms began to turn the earth shook again as the gate Groaned on it's hinges.
" not for a thousand years had the need for A Shang Dragon to open the gate of Fire arise" Liam Said his voice echoed into the courtyard beyond.
the gate began to open. When the gate was open Liam held his right hand out towards Maleon a Wave of Fire left his hand setting ablaze wood and cloth alike all the way to the hall of fire itself! Maleon stood unharmed as soldiers around him writhed in pain as the flames consumed them. Laim Drew a sword of red flame as Maleon appeared on the main level courtyard sword in hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deawen Felt the shockwaves and wondered what horrors had been consived. she ran to her door and tried to open it the door opened freely Deawen stepped out into the corridor just as two Guards panicked stricken rounded the corner they fled down the corridor not even glancing at Deawen. Deawen suddenly felt the great gate open she felt like she was one with the gate. Something called to her from the Hall of Fire. Something stirred inside her she walked down the corridor entranced by the voice bekoning to her. she Rounded a Corner and there stood the doors of the Hall of Fire...she opened the doors to find a huge bare hall nothing was in it save a huge fire pit in the center. There was a fire burning in the pit but no wood fed the fire nor was it oil it was borne out of air. Deawen walked to the fire pit her steps echoing in the hall.

*Sen heard the shockwaves of Liam's diversion, and felt them through his feet. Not for long, however, as he sprung, his wings beating to gain altitude quickly. He soared above the keep, and tried to feel for Deawen... There; though something felt troubled about her. He dove towards the largest building, towards a smoke hole at the top of a dome. He slowed himself down with a couple of massive downbursts, sending the fire below streaking away from where he would land. He was ready too; his state of fury against all Maleon had done did nothing to decrease his skills; it had heightened his thirst for vengance.*

Liam and Maleon stood in a stalemate each sizing up the others weaknesses and strengths. Liam attacked first bringing his sword up over his head then bringing it down, Maleon parried the blow and brought his sword level, he thrust his blade to Liam's chest Liam bent backwards and used the hilt of his sword deflect the thrust. and thus it continued attack defend attack defend.

Deawen Heard Sen approach before seeing him. Initial fear held her in place she did not regonise Sen until he came through the smoke hole. Deawen stood firm as the fire swirled around her casting a red light on her. " Sen " she said taking a step back a trace of fire flickered in her hands. Her medallion suddenly gave off a bright light she felt her whole body cringe and tighten the fire from the pit flared. and Like the in the shadow World not long ago a trace of glittering fallen angel wings unfolded they were transparent and small compared to Sen's but wings none the less. Deawen stared at Sen wondering why he was here her mind went beyond herself and reached out to him but felt the same emotions she felt the last time she reached out to him she recoiled and suddenly became irritated.

*Sen's head was still downcast when he held out his hand to Deawen. He touched down lightly in the firepit, the fire died down to mere embers. Something was strange in his voice, however; a barely contained rage, and a bloodlust for Maleon.*
Deawen... Come quickly. We do not have much time. It seems Liam is causing a diversion, but it will not last for long; not while Maleon is giving him his attention. We must go!

Deawen took a step backwards she shook her head " No...The Deal I must honor the deal" Deawen walked around the firepit avoiding Sen's Eyes she walked around behind him then back before him her footsteps echoing in the hall. " no I can't go but you can go now FLy!" She shouted seeing sen would not go without her she turned dark the embers went out compleatly. without warning a wave of fire swept over towards Sen, slamming him to the back wall. Deawen stood slightly panting flame laced her tranparent wings.

Liam Felt Deawen use her gift " Deawen" he breathed but was distracted for just one moment but it was all it took Maleon siezed the oppertunity and slashed at Liam's side the sword sliced into his side Laim doubled over but before Maleon could take another strike Liam rolled away causing a stalemate. Liam took the chance "she hurt you didn't she?" Liam asked Sen "do not take it as an attack to you personaly she is in the halls of her ansestors the Elsents Feared thier Breatheren in the north never before have your blood entered this hall she is picking up the fear of her past combined with her fear of Maleon.." Liam's voice faded away as he attack Maleon sending sparks everywhere.

*As Sen slammed against the wall, he realized something. Deawen did not know Cath was dead. Anger burned in his heart, even stronger than before. Suddenly, the room grew colder. The flames shot at Sen were snuffed out, and drawn into Sen's two clenched fists. Both Deawen's and Sen's breath began to frost in the air, and ice crystals formed over the window. It was then that Sen looked up at Deawen, and his eyes were a fiery red, reflecting a state that is on the other side of fury. It was the curse of his blood; as his hair, it showed where he had come from. With anger, and yet sadness, apparent in his voice, he spoke to Deawen.*
Don't you see? The deal is off. Maleon lied. He... he killed Cath. It was never his intention to release her. Yet if you choose to side with the traitor, then I can do nothing else but stop you.
*The room was still freezing, but two white hot balls of fire appeared around Sen's fists, nearly blinding to the eyes. He waited for Deawen's response, ready for an attack if it came to it.*

no fear held her nor anger just thought. she wieghed the story against her story. she found it hard to tell which one she could go by. Deawen's wings droped alittle a sudden hoarsness in her voice gave away the true fear she felt " I can't..even if Cath is Dead I am still bound to him, " Deawen never took her eyes off him " i can't" she repeated
the cold began to affect her fire wasn't enough without her medallion she shivered. Deawen knew better than to openly counter Sen.Deawen's mind raced her pulse quickened never before had she attacked Sen nor opposed him now she had her wings fell even more in shame. she looked down at Sen's fists, he was ready to attack her if she made the wrong choice. Deawen's wings fluttered as she walked towards the door of the hall she stood before it she pushed on the door but it would not budge. Deawen didn't want to waste time or strength on opening the door. She walked back towards Sen her wings spread out wide in defiance " why can't you just leave me here?!" she shouted her countance showed she was frightened of Sen but still more afraid of being hunted. black flame appeared in her clenched fists. " I can't go back" she said firmly,Deawen suddenly saw a way out of all of this horrible mess. she took a sudden breath and released two streams of sable fire at Sen. they were quick and percise but left her Exausted. she stood for moment her wings drooped her knees buckled and she waited for Sen to strike.

Liam sensed Deawen's choice and his heart was heavy he could do nothing about her choice now it was nw between her and Sen.

*Sen guarded against the streams of fire shot at him by Deawen, and then it was his turn. Torn by all the anger and frustration, Sen lunged for Deawen, his fist aimed straight at her head. The fire he had gathered in his hands would kill most anyone in an instant. His fist froze, a scant inch from her head, the fire reathing around. Sen then spoke quietly, his hair and eyes changing back to the way they were.*
Because you are the only one I have left, and I would not give you up to Maleon, or to anyone. Please, Deawen. Come.

Deawen did not flinch as Sen lunged at her she remained passive and calm. Deawen stared at him with half closed eyes then with lightening speed she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his shoulder whispering " when the dark wood fell before me and all the paths were overgrown, when the priest of pride say there is no other way, I tilled the sorrows into stone, I could not believe because i could not see. please forgive me" two crystal tears fell to the polished stone floor as she spoke. " I am so sorry i never ment to hurt you as I have it is beyond forgivness " she said puting her hand into his then pouring what was left of her gift into his palm. Deawen winced as she felt the bitter cold mortality seep into her. " each step i have taken was to bring me closer to you but what have i done? i pushed you away for an unjust cause.."
she smiled weakly at him as her wings dissipated.
