Tyba’s golden specked eyes stared down at the dying figure before him. The blond man at his feet was covered in his own blood, one horn smaller than the other, his wings now broken and useless. “Centrifuge Chonodhoch… What ever made you think you could avenge her? She didn’t belong here anyway…” Tyba grinned and showed razor teeth. From his mouth across his face he slowly began to morph into a giant tiger. His eyes flared with the rage of an animal, and he ripped into Chonodhoch’s flesh for a last time.
Chonodhoch suppressed a scream and gathered the last of his strength to manifest a giant spear made of pure grief for Alora, and hurled it into the morphing tiger. It hit the beast’s shoulder and he roared and writhed in pain. A look of confusion flicked across Chonodhoch’s face before his eyes went blank and glassy, ‘why was it that nothing else worked? And yet this did?...’ “I’ve failed you…” he whispered with his last breath. He then layed still on the ground, body beginning to grow cold.
Tyba grimaced. In his Tiger form he seemed as otherworldly as he did in his human form. His coat was bright red-orange with streaks of black all over, twirls of black around the features of his felinian head. His eyes would catch the attention of any, their golden gaze petrifying. Firstly however, one would note his size.
He pulled himself off the dead man, blood matting the fur at his face and the place where the spear jut from his shoulder. He pulled the spear of emotion from his bloody wound and it sizzled in his hand. The beast let out a growl, throwing it to the ground, and sat down on the cold mountain top, roaring of his kill. The sillhouette of a black dog could be seen hazily in a small nook of the mountain side. His icy eyes glowing against the coming of the night, '...This isn't good...' He thought retreating a little more into the darkness. He wasn't ready yet.

A large white figure appeared behind omen, the creature was easily three times his size. Her cold black nose ran up the dogs spin, giving in a long sniff. The black dog reeked of the sent of alora, kira had been complaining that she had come in one night and never returned, she never even paid rent. She let out a low growl, 'who are you?' she seemed to ask him in their language of growls, barks and snarls.

Omen turned his large black head quickly at the sound of the growl, "Me? ... I'm Omen..." He said in the tongue of dogs. "Why do you growl at me?" His icy blue eyes flickered in fear. she isn't working for him... is she?. The thought flashed across his mind. "Am I your enemy? Or is He?" He sounded reserved, and he felt a rumbling growl build up in his own throat.
Tyba leant down to lick Chonodhoch's corpse. The hairs on the tiger's back rose up with excitement as he feasted with his long white fangs. Loud ripping and tearing sounds came from his devouring, and a silvery substance was absorbed into Tyba's mouth that one mightn't notice at first glance. With every bite, Tyba ate his essence, and his memories. The beast shuddered with pleasure at the taste. He didn't notice Zede or Omen as he was enjoying his meal.

There is a cracking sound. Like that of a lightning bolt hitting the trunk of a dead tree. Several meters away from Tyba, a large gash appears in reality. Now, as far as a tear in reality is concerned, it was not all that impressive. Approximately nine feet tall and three feet across at it's greatest. What was a great deal more interesting was the ammount of power issuing forth from this tear. It was not unlike the appearance of one of the gods from the Greek pantheon, or perhaps akin to that of the eldritch horrors of old.
Out of this rip in the very fabric of space and time steps a tall figure, clad in black spiked plate mail armour, glowing violet eyes, wearing no helmet, and to his side there is sheathed a blade with etched runes in both hilt and sheath. His blonde hair flutters lightly in the light breeze as he steps onto the mountainside. He looks down at the tiger and the dead from of Chonodhoch, there is no change in expression as he sees that the tiger has obviously killed this person. But a minor hint of curiosity does cross his face just as he begins to speak.
"Chonodhoch. Centrifuge of the alleged gods. Though, granted, that is not by the name he knew them. Category 2 being." He says, looking down at Chonodhoch. He then turns to look at Tyba. "But who might you be... Judging by your wounds, and that you have obviously killed Chonodhoch, that would make you at minimum a greater Category 3 being, perhaps even lesser Category 4..." He says, his tone mildly curious... He did not expect the tiger before him to make sence of what he was saying. To be honest, he did not really expect anyone to understand what he was talking about.

Zede let out a low growl, "Whoever was the one that made alora dissapear..." she said in her wolfish tone. She stood over the dog and stood watching the tiger eating chonodonch. Zede stared at him for a moment, and then spoke to the dog. "he is my enemy" she growled to the dog in thier language. "The beast will die!" she barked and then watched as a man appeared out of a vortex.
She let out a snort and stood up and walked over calmly to the edge of the shadows, more towords the man that appeared out of the vortex. Zede was careful to stay in the shadows but also made subtle hints of her presence to Lance.

Tyba's golden eyes darted up to the new presence materializing in front of him. The Tiger seemed to turn into his human form within the time it took one to blink, "I believe we haven't met before... " He grins with sharp teeth, tainted by blood. "I am Tyba, a Keeper of Dreams... " Tyba's body was still a bit hunched over from his other form, and his shoulder blades twitched in the eagerness to pounce. His left shoulder still bloody from his wound. The emotion spear that damaged him lay on the edge of the cliff. Tyba's back was turned on the cave where Omen and Zede stood.
The black dog growled low, "He's talking to that boy... I think his name is Lance. This isn't good... " He said to Zede. "My owner, Alora? Is that who you speak of? Yes, I was there when she died... It was kind of my job." His sad blue eyes went to the rocky floor. "Look! His back is turned... perhaps it would be a good idea to move..." Omen's tail wagged lightly with hope.

Lance could feel Zede's presence, but he did not so much as even twitch. He watched as the tiger transformed into what appeared to be a humanoid form. This too really did not seem to phase him in any way. He listens with seemigly little interest, even though he took in every minute detail about the happenings. He nods lightly to the now humanoid figure, noting that it was still hunched, in a stance that afforded him the ability to easily strike at Lance. And it did look like this person was quite ready to.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Tyba. I hope that you do not mind if I refrain from using your title when I speak to you, I do not stand well on ceremony. Otherwise I would have to require people to use my own title, and that would just get monotanous." he says, his tone mild and quite apathetic. His stance did not change in the slightest even though Tyba had taken on a more aggresive stance himself.

Zede snorted in reply to all that Omen said and stepped out of the shadowy nook. The wolf knealed low to the ground before bolting between Lance and Tyba to break them off from the dead body of Chonodhoch. She snarled at Tyba and guarded his only source of energy like a hunting lone wolf.

Before Zede made a move, Tyba laughed with a small cackle, "Oh, Lance... You are quite right. Full titles are quite tedious. I know you quite well already come to think of it. but that was long ago for you..." He took a step forward before Zede slashed out in front of him. He let her with an expression of amusement. "Well This is our friend I suppose... " He smirked, "Zerda Ed... Dear, It's all the Bridge's little friends. How you've all grown so." His voice was dark and bitter, like cocoa.
Omen cursed to himself at Zede's hasty move. "Zede...." He mumbled, unable to gather the courage to join the fight just yet. He was still gathering energy... He watched, shifting slightly in place. The dog layed down on the rocky floor and rested his head on his paws. "Bad move..."
Tyba laughed, "Are you trying to hunt me down?" He glanced at Lance as well, whom, however casual he seemed, Tyba suspected appeared here for a reason. "You are both here to try and avenge her. How... Noble.." He sneered.

"Hey, I'm here too!" Destiny yelled, scrambling out from behind a rock. For some reason she was wearing a big white coat over her usual clothes. She put her hands on her hips. "You're the guy who killed my friend?! That's not on, pal!" she shouted. Because as we all know, tiny skinny blonde girls are so threatening.
She marched up. "If they're gonna fight you for killing Alora then I'm gonna fight you too. And we'll win because you wouldn't know noble if it was shoved up your ass!"

Zede let out a growl and pushed destany back in a type of protecting defence. "Stay back child..." she said in a low growl as she made nother swipe at tybia. Anger began to bubble up in side of ze as she made stap at him keeping him away from the others. The fur on her back and tail featherd out to a sharp point. Her teeth flashed beyond her lips, her anger still growing.

Tyba stared at the scene for a few minutes and then laughter began to erupt from the beast's human mouth. His teeth were sharp as he cackled. "Your both so utterly weak against me. If I killed her, what makes you think you cannot die the same way?" His voice was dark and gruff. He ignored Destiny's childish insults and Zede snapping at him made no difference in his composure. He smirked at it a little actually, taking a step towards the guarding wolf. He stopped short in front of the wolf and then his arm transformed into a giant clawed paw and He twisted his body as he swiped. One could see the muscles under his skin moving on his shoulder blades. (they were quite attractive muscles actually. Oh yeah, did I mention he was shirtless?)

Destiny gave Zede a dirty look, insulted by the dismissive 'child' remark and the rude shoving. "I'm well able to hold my own, so don't just push me around, alright? Let's focus on nancyboy here instead." she said. She pulled on what looked like a pair of gauntlets made out of blue Fireon and put her fists up. The Fireon was sort of compressed solid fire which she could drain to fuel her own fire for a while. Even though it wouldn't be likely to hit her she ducked under Tyba's swipe on reflex.

Zede made a jump back the swipe of his claws grazed at her fur, she felt it. Zede quickly bolted over to destiny shelding her almost. "Destiny the spear quick...on the cliff..." she said to her in a husky wisper. Hopefully that would prove useful...but who knows, zede was just going on instinct."one of us can distract him wile the other grabs it..." she said her voice seeming to come from ther throat and chest rather than her mouth.

Tyba growled at them both and all at once was a tiger again. He pounced onto Zede, attempting to knock her to the ground and maul her with his fangs and claws. He aimed his teeth for her neck. He couldn't get to Destiny without first taking out the bitch. The Spear alone wouldn't be enough to kill him anyway. It was only a single harvested emotion. He knew it would hurt, but wear away quickly now that Chonodhoch was dead. It might only be good for one or two uses. And it would break easily. If they wanted to kill him, they must come up with a weapon themselves...
Omen felt his energy building, but he did nothing but watch. not yet... He thought to himself. He was so used to seeing the deaths of others, he was only vaguely concerned with them. Besides, he only felt one death coming in the air. Only one.

Zede let out a snarel as she bit on to him before he could her. 'i hate you!!!!' she thought as anger boiled in her chest, makeing her feel like she was on fire. Her pupils dialated out as she sunk her teeth in to him once more. 'I HATE YOUUU!!' she roared in her head, as the emotion seemed to fill up her entire self. She could feel her blood boiling. 'you took away alora' she growled at him as she scrached at him with her back feet.

Destiny cupped her hands together and blew into them, blue fire slowly spreading over them. She started flinging fireballs at Tyba then ran up and started trying to smack his sides and set him on fire that way as well as get him off of Zede. "You killed my friend, you evil evil son of a bitch!" she yelled, her face red with anger, "You're gonna pay for it!"

Tyba felt Zede's legs kicking furiously at his side, but only barely. It was her hatred for him that he felt, that made the scratches show up as bloody marks on his fur. He heard the sound of flames as his cup-shaped ears shrank against his head and the muscles in his face pulled back to show a fiersome set of teeth. He attempted once again to rip into Zede, with a Low and loud growl and tried to sink them into Zede's side. Suddenly smelt his fur burning before he felt it. It was a dim feeling and it dissapeared as soon as it touched him, until her shrill yells reached his ears, etched with such anger. It hit him then, a patch or two of fur singed off, his skin became red, and he started to look more mangy. He roared loudly, the sound echoing with his anger and pain. The two of them hitting him at once was too much and in defence he thrashed wildly, putting the flames out quickly. He lashed out then to Destiny, who seemed physically weak in appearance enough for him to take out quite quickly. The Wolf would have to wait, and he would just have to be on his guard now.

The blow caught Destiny's left arm, a loud crack echoing around the mountain, spinning her around and landing her on the ground. She clutched her broken arm, fighting back tears. She got to her feet stubbornly and pulled the Fireon gauntlet of her left hand. She held it to her lips and breathed in.
What looked like blue smoke started to flow away from the Fireon into her mouth, and the blue colour of the gauntlet started to fade, leaving it a cracked, dull grey. Within a few seconds the gauntlet was drained entirely and she dropped it on the ground.
She closed her eyes, trying to focus all her emotions into her attack then opened her mouth and started to breathe blue flames. The flames were brighter and more powerful than the others she had used, twisting and flickering wildly like something alive and insane.
With only one hand to guide them she had a lot less control than usual but she was going for power here and hopefully her luck would hold out. Her only real manipulation of it was making sure it didn't hurt Zede by accident.

Zede backed slightly away, keeping a distance from the flames but only enough to feel the sting of the heat. She let out a growl as her teeth flashed. "I loved her verry much too!" she thought to him, menicingly. "many people loved her, but you made her dissaper, and they forgot her!" she growled, storm clouds began to fill over head, and lightly struck. Ze couldnt controle the lightning but she could controle mostly of where it struck but that was one out of ten chance.
Another low growl came 'I LOVED HER AND NOW SHES GONE ALL BECOUSE OF YOU!!!' all of her anger, remores, love every thing she was feeling boiled out of her and he lighting struck him head on. Ze felt rather lucky on that.

The Fire blazed, and the Lightning Struck, and Tyba let out a huge roar of absolute suffering, as if he was feeling the anger and pain that they both were feeling himself. It consumed him, like the flames on his skin, licking at his animal flesh, turning him human out of weakness, and then he was nothing but charred remains. A strange silvery whisp of a feather lay trapped in the flames, but did not burn. Rain began to fall quickly as night dawned on them. The fires were put out, as Tyba's lifeless body lay, black and red all over. The feather called on them, glowing a silver blue. A faint, distant and familiar voice seemed to echo as if in their own minds....
...It seems I've returned... very well... Save me before the wind takes me. I'll take you to my Maker.

Destiny flopped on the ground, panting. She was sweating profusely, her skin clammy. "D-don't touch it," she gasped, "Not for a minute. Could be dangerous."
She reached into hammerspace on pulled out a splint and bandages, as well as a small red case. She fumbled with it as she could only use one hand. She swallowed, trying to slow her heartbeat. "Can you please come over and help?" she asked Zede, "My arm snapped and I'm a haemophiliac so if I don't fix myself up soon I'll bleed to death. Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I just need a hand."

Zede trotted over to her and licked her wounds gengerly. Forceing the small traces of water in her body to act and trigger a rapid immune responce. Plus she turned her saliva in to a thick jelly like water that acted like a super banade. "Better?" she asked lightly sitting down and then looking at the feather. "It sounds like alora..." she mumbled.

The silvery and glass-like feather seemed to flash a white blue color and then the aura retreated into itself again, "Do not fear... what could I do to you- I'm only a feather... You are looking for Alora, correct?... I have the power take you to the world that she is in, and show you the way to her, I suppose. Her soul isn't quite fully drained yet, so you might bring her back if you move quickly... When we find her however, you must convince her to change me back into my previous form. Being a Feather is quite dull..." Mirri complained into their minds, sounding as if she herself was about to fall asleep.

"In a minute, missus!" Destiny said, "Here, lady, can you just wrap these bandage around this splint? Nice and tight. I don't want my arm to end up all crooked. Thanks for your help with the bleedy too. I'll give meself the injection to be safe but your magical spit powers helped me keep a good bit of blood."

Zede let out a laugh as she pulled the bandage as tight as she could with her jaws. She still wasnt in her human form "Thankyou murry, it would be verry kind of you to do so..." she said in a light growl. "Ok destiny wanna get on?" she asked offering her back to the girl

Mirri sat their patiently. After all really, what else could she do? "If you pick me up then perhaps i'd be more useful... Tyba's dead body is a bridge now, you see. Between the worlds? That's what Alora was once, when she was killed. I can use my magic to create the bridge, it won't take long... I'm saying so now because perhaps you understanding this better might make explanations shorter when we actually arrive...."

"Let's go then. Zede, I guess you should pick her up?" Destiny pulled a stepladder out of hammerspace and used it to get onto Zede's back. She sat sidesaddle, burying her face and fingers in Zede's fur.
"Always liked wolves," she said, her voice muffled, "Back in Carcer they called me Wolf. Now let's bite some dreamy ass."

"Well I mightn't get as wet if she holds me instead, yes. It might be more comfortable than your teeth as well..." Mirri weighed boredly. "However her arm is broken and she might need the other one... Why not just put it in your pocket Destiny. But before you put me in such a dark place, look closely at this feather- try and see your reflection in it- for then I can see through your eyes while i'm put away." Mirri's voice echoed slightly as she explained calmly.
