Starting with confusion (Ice)[end]

Well great. Being new to this camp, it was only natural for Nabia to be curious and want to explore. But before she did she promised herself not to get completely lost and confused, of course doing the exact opposite. This is what curiosity gets you Nabia.  Luckily she didn't stray to far away, and the mens voices were pretty loud, therefore she was able to hear and find her way back. She cursed under her breath, something she learnt spending time around these men, as she tripped over a tree root right into the camp. Hopefully, nobody saw that. Not bothering to dust herself off or fix her hair which was now a semi mess, she continued to tred along toward Lucifers tent where she hoped to find both melody and Lucifer. First thing I do is apologise to the both of them, I promised not to go anywhere today. She makes her way in front of the tent, thinking twice about whether to just walk in or tell them shes coming in. She decides not to warn them, its not like they'd get mad at her or something. They wouldn't be doing anything bad or secret too, so what would be the point of acting as if she was distant to them. Nabia stepped inside only to be met with disappointment. Noone was here and she went through all that worrying for nothing. She decided not to go round the camp looking for them, as one, she would most likely end up lost again, and two, there would be a higher chance of meeting them if she stayed in one place.  And then she began to occupy herself with stuff in Lucifers tent, which she shouldn't really do. She played around with some daggers, swishing them from side to side, not actually using them with skill. Flicked through books, none really interesting her as they all contained facts or information. Oh! This reminds me, I should probably continue and practice some writing in my spare ti- Nabia was dragged out of her thoughts as she heard footsteps approaching the tent. She quickly put everything down and sat on the bed, trying to make it seem like all she did was sit and wait patiently. ICE'LIAREA

He wasn't sure what had brought him to visit his brother. It had been a long time since they had last seen each other, they met briefly on occasion when his brother raged wars on the lands of Azelania. Aztarac watched in the shadows masking his presence from even his own kind. He had gotten used to living in solitude, he was not lonely he felt nothing when he saw his family. They had all been separated too soon for them to form a bond and he felt no desire to change that now.

But curiosity brought him here, he wanted to know what kind of chaos his brother was brewing. He had heard whispers of a battle with the Aira. The race that had taken in their brother and raised him. Would this war become a clash of the gods? He dismissed that thought not out of fear for his brothers but neither would care enough for those around them to fight one of their own. Even with no bond, even without some connection they had something primal in common. Their blood was the same, they originated from the same parents they were siblings.

Even without the bond that most would expect Aztarac would protect his brothers even without their knowledge. It was easier for him to remain in the shadows. It was easier for him to travel with no need of warriors or guardians, he lived alone and went where he wished. Even now he allowed the shadows so slowly seep through the nearby area in his brothers camp listening to the whispers and finding any information of value. Possible threats maybe, no his men were loyal. Good.

He found himself entering his brothers tent masked in darkness not even the flap on the tent moved as he entered. But instead of his brother he found a young girl sitting on his brother's bed trying to act innocent as if she had been caught doing something. He remained in the darkness his head tilted to the side in an almost feral way, as if the wolf had found its new prey..

'Who is she. Why is she here.' He thought to himself staying a good distance away from her while looking around his brothers tent.

She sat and waited. But no matter how long she waited, no body came in, no one even walked past the tent. Maybe I just imagined footsteps Nabia thought, satisfied with her theory, although she still felt uneasy. She looked around the room twice but no one was here so she decided to leave the setting sun bringing out darkness scaring her slightly. She got up, smoothed her hair out and began to walk out of the tent. Just as she was about to walk out though, a bottle caught her attention. It was the same drink from earlier on that she wanted to try. She looked around the room yet again, went up to the bottle and sniffed it, instantly squeezing her eyes. Not as excited to drink it as she was before she took a small and quick sip and nearly choked. Turns out, Nabia didn't enjoy the bitter taste of alcohol.  Wiping her mouth she walked outside of the tent, skimming the whole camp for Lucifer and Melody but they were no where to be seen. To make her task easier she decided to ask some men who may have seen them but finding actual men who weren't either cheering or taking part in sparring was very difficult. She walked past, getting some curious stares as she was yet new to the camp, swiftly dodging crowds or fists that were being thrown in the air. The many years spent in the water, she has adapted to be very swift and dodge nearly everything that came at her, though she wasn't very fast. Nabia walked up to a bunch of men who were sitting and talking seriously. "Hey, sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Melody or Lucifer anywhere?" She asked, getting directions from a built man. She thanked them and got winks in return, and a warning not to walk around so freely since someone might snatch her away. She chuckled, "Well I do feel like someone has been following me." They all laughed, sending her off and getting 'Good luck kid' and 'See you later' in return. She sighed and proceeded to go in the directions she was told of. ICE'LIAREA

'What a strange individual, why is she here. Not much of a fighter' He thought to himself, he remained silently masked in the shadows watching the girl move freely around his brothers tent. An assassin was clearly out of the picture, she wasn't stealthy in the slightest. When she touched items she forgot their previous position anyone trained would know to memorize where everything went. He watched as she took a sip of alcohol and choked, clearly wasn't very used to living in a war camp either. If she had she would have grown used to alcohol after all warriors celebrated after every victory. So clearly not a warrior either.

He followed her as she walked through the camp, the men and women looked at her in a slightly different way. She must have arrived only recently to the camp for them to look at her so oddly.

'mm interesting, so she has the possibility of being dangerous.'

He followed her as she asked men for directions towards his brother. This served him as well as this girl. 'Lets see how you deal with my brother young one.' She headed towards his brother confidently, dodging arms and moving bodies rather elegantly.

When she finally found Lucifer he turned to face her in a somewhat relaxed manner.

"Something wrong Nabia?"

Aztarac remained slightly further concealing his aura from his brother wanting to learn exactly why this girl was here and what relationship she had managed to forge with his brother.

"I finally found you," Nabia sighed, throwing Lucifer a thumbs up to show that nothing is wrong," I've been looking for you everywhere, even waited in your tent for a while. I left pretty quickly though, felt strange as if i was being watched, you should check that out. Oh and also, you should probably check if your drinks are good to drink, they tasted pretty disgusting unless it was just me who doesn't like the taste.." She trailed off getting completely sidetracked. She reminded herself of why she was looking for Lucifer in the first place, remembering that she still had to apologise for wondering off but Lucifer seemed pretty clueless so she decided to leave it. 'Mel isn't going to be so forgiving though..' She thought, quickly swapping her thoughts. "By the way, do you know when we can start my training? Still need to get a lot better with actual weapons and I still need to practice my water skills, now that I'm not actually limited to using them. Sorry for bothering you with this, but it'd be less of a bother if you and Melody would have to help me with everything because i'm so weak, plus I could go search for any information about Kogiro myself and maybe find something new," "Oh! Another thing," She chuckled, she never really said so much in so little time," Have you found any information on the people that took Kogiro?"  She cursed, hating to be so useless. If maybe she was just a bit stronger she wouldn't need to rely on the few people that were around her and bother them too much. She was determined, if no one helped her to train sooner or later she would do it herself.  Nabia shuddered, feeling that strange presence again. 'You're just being paranoid' Is what she told herself. ICE'LIAREA

This girl spoke a lot, like... a lot. Aztarac remained quietly in the shadows watching the interaction between her and his brother Lucifer. It seemed so strange that a young rambling girl like herself had somehow gotten into the war camp of a Nenyr and somehow befriended him? Was that something that could actually happen? Made him wonder if his brother had grown weaker, maybe bewitched by someone. Though something seemed familiar about this girl, something about her reminded him of the time he spent in a tribe near Alaen'ne.

While he pondered over his thoughts his brother focused on Nabia and tried to answer ever question she had shot out in such a short amount of time.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow at the comment of being followed, he had an idea what that meant but kept quiet no need to frighten her. "Nabia, that was alcohol it tastes that way." he sighed, she was so similar to Melody getting in trouble at any turn and somehow she had gained a little stalker. He had to speak to his brother about his shadows. "You can start training tomorrow, I'll pair you up with Melody."




Aztarac's curiosity peaked, the shadows faded and he came into appearance standing behind Nabia towering over her. "Melody is here brother?" He looked down at Nabia but made no signs of moving away from her or even acknowledging she was present apart from standing behind her.

Lucifer sighed and walked closer to Nabia. "Nabia meet Aztarac my brother. Brother meet Nabia, Melody's friend"

"Mhmm..." He stared down at her, his golden eyes staring into hers as if trying to figure out exactly what her worth would be here.

Nabia was just having a casual conversation with Lucifer, when a very tall person appeared right behind her, standing a bit too close for Nabias comfort. 'What the... where the heck did this dude come from?' She asked herself. The guy made no sign of moving so she did it herself stepping away from him, getting a full look at the person right in front. No doubt this guy had looks, but they didn't make up for his rudeness. He made no sign of acknowledging Nabia, not even introducing himself. Instead, Lucifer had to introduce him as Aztarac his... brother?! When she was introduced, Aztarac stared into her eyes, which completely contrast to his golden, glazing eyes with their faded, muted purple. She stared straight back, not ready to show this rude person that she was entirely weak. Though she wasn't about to become rude in return. She held out her hand to him, "Its nice to meet you... Aztarac," She said his name firmly, looking at him one more time before braking their eye contact looking over at Lucifer. "Thank you Lucifer and sorry again for saying so much," She laughed, rubbing her arm. She looked at Aztarac, having to look up. 'Damn why is everyone so tall' getting a bit upset with her height, she sighed, getting ready to leave so that Lucifer and Aztarac can catch up, or do whatever they do. She smiled at Lucifer and walked past Aztarac, not sparing him a goodbye just like he didn't spare an introduction. It's not like they would end up seeing each other constantly anyway. ICE'LIAREA

Lucifer spoke quietly trying to maintain his temper and failing rather quickly. "Melody is here, shes on a hunt with some of the men"

He couldn't help but feel unhinged with this female near his brother. Clearly they were acquaintances which at least made him call his shadows to return. He was unsure of what to make of their friendship or whatever it was, he had been raised to not trust to not accept friendship in the slightest. His brothers were his only relations minus a friend he had made from his childhood almost as old as he. But even then life took that away from him, his closest friend killed with his wife they tribe destroyed when all they ever wanted was to be left alone and hidden from the rest of Azelania.

"My brother lacks manners in most occasions, he is Aztarac nenyr of darkness."

But if Melody had survived that could mean so had the other children of his dear friend. This girl was connected in someway. He turned around and grabbed her wrist, a pack of shadow wolves forming in front of the exit stopping her from leaving. "Who is she brother."

Lucifer sighed growing agitated by this entire encounter. "Like I said shes a friend of Melody's, and yes she is a Rakuh but she doesn't belong to the same tribe." Aztarac was short tempered Lucifer knew this but he also knew his brother wouldn't do much apart from scare her but even then he was probably just assessing if she was a risk. Aztarac pulled her closer a hand to her chin making her face him as he scanned her face something about her intrigued him.. She had a hidden strength and power that could surpass most.. A smirk rose to his lips before he let go of the girl and whistled at the wolves to make space for her to leave.

"Best be off little lady. Don't worry the wolves won't bite you.. At least not now."

What kind of rude, tall person does he think he is Nabia thought, getting agitated at the boy. Just as she was about to peacefully leave the guy blocked her way with some kind of shadow wolfs. Shadows Nabia realised, putting things together bit by bit in her head and smirking to herself. Aztarac demanded to know who she is and Lucifer explained, to which his brother took Nabias face and started to scan it. Everything.  Nabia has never been so close to some one in her entire life span, let alone a male. So it was no surprise when she got extremely flustered and embarrassed and then he just simply let her go without saying anything. To say Nabia got pissed with this was a misunderstanding. Firstly, he ignores her existence then this guy embarrasses her so much and ignores her existence yet again, whistling to the wolves to simply let her go, making it seem as if she is scared of them. Boy was he wrong. "Listen here Aztarac you may be trying to present yourself as the mighty and unfazed guy but it's not working. You know, its not nice to follow little ladies around without them knowing. Guys shouldn't be such cowards to be honest, following women around like lost deer, if they were everything they made themselves out to be we'd have a world full of actually courageous men," Nabia started, "No offence Lucifer, you're not as bad as him," "And I am not some little lady, I'm Nabia for the third time if you couldn't hear, I may be completely useless but at least i have some decency left," And with that she rose her head up high and walked out of the tent, hoping that she wasnt too mean? She sighed, reminding herself to get lessons on how to feel less guilty with every mean thing she does. ICE'LIAREA

This girl had gained some respect from Aztarac and Lucifer. Respect and maybe something else, worry that this girl had no sense of danger? She had spoken to a nenyr in a rude way one that was thought to rule hell in the future, their father had been cursed as they had but for him the curse was more painful. They had destroyed his very body and had sealed him in different parts of Azelania. The war itself was something Aztarac had yet to pick sides on, his family were all that mattered. He understood why his father had grown insane and found himself wishing the destruction of these people. Yet his brother had made a family of his own and protected them as he would Aztarac and Lucifer.

This girl was free to roam and to speak as she wished and Aztarac couldn't help but smirk at the idea of someone speaking freely without much thought to who she spoke with. Until his father returned he was the leader of the dark, he could take over his father realm in a moments desire and yet he remained in this world. As the girl left he spoke with his brother over what events had occurred while he had kept his distance. Melody had somehow found his cabin and from there she ended up in a war camp eventually developing some kind of connection with his brother. They had gone to check for clues which is when they found Nabia searching for a friend of hers.

It seemed someone was luring anyone with rakuh blood and he wanted to know why. Why had his friend been targeted and why had he lost his life. Melody's father was far from weak, to subdue him they had to know his weakness. They must have used his children or his love .. The only weaknesses that man held..

That wouldn't be Aztarac's fate. The only connection he had was his brother and none of them were weak enough to be killed before one of the brothers could save them. Aztarac left his brother to find Melody, he would see her soon enough for the moment though he was more interested in that rakuh's gift that seemed hidden from even herself. Did she know the powers she held inside of her?..

He masked himself in the darkness once again and hunted for the little lady that he had to admit would be a new fun toy to keep him from getting bored.

Deciding where to go was already difficult enough. She knew she was meant to stay within the camp, but as much as she wanted to she knew she wouldn't be able to calm down. She debated going outside again like before, and it sounded like a good enough idea as long as she didn't get caught. She knew the exact place she wanted to go to too.  Nabia quietly stepped outside the camp, making her way over to the near by lake. It wasn't yet dark, there fore she was not as scared as before where she had to walk through this are in the complete darkness. She reached the destination, so desperate to have the water envelop her she almost ran into it. She sat on the pebbles around the lake, untying her shoes and slipping her coat off, placing them all near a rather big rock. She walked over carefully to the water, stepping inside, the cold of the fresh water not bothering her at all. Her dress was now floating around her, and she brang her arms up to untie it and as soon as the dress was off she went underwater, the biggest grin on her face. No matter what agitated her during the day, she always found comfort in water, and for that she was forever great full.  Nabia emerged to the surface, eyes and hair more vibrant, ears bigger and instead of legs a sturdy tail. She sighed bringing her arm to her stomach.  "Lets try this again..." She said quietly under her breath, concentrating on the water around her and beginning to make slight arm movements. She wanted to control her power, so that no longer it would have to be concealed away in the fear of it causing destruction. It wouldn't, if she was able to control it but as much as she tried to focus she couldn't get a certain male out of her head and what interesting encounter that was. ICE'LIAREA

Aztarac had left his brother to gather information, he had traveled through the camp listening to the men gossip trying to find any clues of traitors or spies but his men were loyal for the moment. Good, he had seen Melody training she had found her place in his brothers camp and here she was safe until he could find the reasons why everything turned so strange. Why had the Rakuh been targeted and why were they still hunting the different tribes. His shadows had easily found the young rakuh girl, he followed the trail to a lake where she shifted into her rakuh form.

Interesting... She was one of the water Rakuh.. He hadn't bothered to learn all the species of rakuh the only ones that mattered were the ones that obeyed him. She had disobeyed orders, she left the camp and entered a place that was dangerous if she were alone. He remained hidden and watched as she tried to summon something, her powers maybe.

It wasn't too long before he heard footsteps approaching and by the sounds of it not very human. A large creature the size of a bear was walking towards her, her back turned as the creature stalked closer. It looked rather gruesome even for Aztarac, the creature had wounds on its body that had grown infected and seeped puss the smell itself nauseating..

A shadow wolf appeared in front of Nabia protecting her from the beast, as if it knew who the wolf belonged to it quickly ran off. Aztarac let the shadows peal away revealing him standing in the clearing.

"You should listen when people tell you to not leave the camp on your own. Might not be lucky next time"

Nabia turned around with one swish of her tail, gasping at the sight of a huge bear like creature being scared off by one of... Aztaracs shadow wolf? He came out of the shadows, surprising Nabia when he somewhat scolded her and some what admitted that he did in fact save her, making her feel slightly more guilty about being so rude towards him. She decided to apologise, there fore swimming towards her dress, slipping it on and shifting. Nabia walked out of the water and stood right in front of Aztarac, looking him in the eyes. "Thank you for just now," She said, "And i want to apologise, um, for you know being maybe a bit rude towards you back at the camp." Nabia finished hoping he wasn't too mad, when a slight breeze made her wet hair and body feel very cold. She walked over to her coat, picking it up and wrapping herself in it, making it wet as well. Then she realised. 'Wait... why is he here in the first place? I swear i came here on my own, and its unlikely he would know about this place too...' "Hey, did you follow me," She paused," Again? Because if you did just gonna let you know its kind of creepy and there's no point in doing so. I don't have any special skills or powers, that I can use, so it really is pointless," Great. She practically owned up to being useless. Well it didn't matter, he knew it already, if he did follow her round, he probably saw her struggling to summon her powers, probably saw her asking so many questions to Lucifer like some kind of freak. She sighed, turning to look at Aztarac once again. 'Its not like he would care anyway, he is the Nenyr of Darkness after all.' ICE'LIAREA

It seemed even this little lady had some manners. Firstly she had been surprised but after she dressed she thanked him for rescuing her. How cute. She thought he had done it for no reason, what for kindness?
He smirked as she spoke of being nothing special, of having no gift which would peak his interest. The fact this girl tried to understand him was a joke on its own. No one could ever understand what went through his mind. Maybe he saved her in favor of a memory of his dear friend that no longer lived. The rakuh hated him and yet he had fallen for one of the leaders.

This girl had strength within her that she had yet to tap into something that reminded him of his friends daughters. Yes, this one was indeed very unique. She had the ability yet had no strength to control it so it would refuse to manifest. She tried to educate him on things she had little understanding of.

"You have no idea what you hold little lady."

He walked passed her heading back towards the camp the shadow wolves following its master stopping as he turned to look at Nabia. He had heard from his brother that she was looking for information on someone who had been lost to her. "I'll help you find information on your friend. Seems like it will be entertaining" It would be entertaining, he had no enemies trying to kill him as of yet or maybe he had already killed them. He needed something to pass the time, this girl would be a nice toy for now.

"Go back. I wont always rescue you."He waved her off as he continued his way back to the camp slowly fading away back into the darkness.

What exactly did he mean by that? What does she hold? All these questions kept on running through Nabias head but all disappeared when Aztarac started to walk away. "My name is Nabia for the last time, you could at least call me that.." She muttered underneath her breath, running up to him, thinking it best be stuck with him then the feral creature from before. She walked behind him admiring the shadows that followed him, stopping when he did. The next thing, Nabia did not expect. Her smile stretched from the end of one cheek to the other, a rosy colour coming to her pale, blueish skin and eyes almost lighting up like in Eilios form. She wasn't even slightly mad that Lucifer may have told him what had happened to her and her purpose of being here, she was just happy that this person who seemed to think of himself very highly, and still does, is going to help Nabia look for information. She didn't even care that it was for his entertainment. "As long as you don't make me go mad," She said, knowing that most likely it could happen. And just like that, with a few words, Aztarac was leaving, already merging with the darkness, leaving Nabia in silence. Unlike before, it became dark, the sun set behind the multiple trees. What Aztarac said got Nabia thinking on the way. She was aware that he wouldn't always be there, just like other people wouldn't and that's why Nabia needed to start training thoroughly. All the way back to the camp she thought about what she was going to do, when she slid down against a tree, next to a warm fire that was still lit, most likely left by one of the other men in order for others to use and let a small breath out, glad to be within the camp. She closed her eyes, the warmth of the fire warming her cold face, falling asleep determined to change for the better. 'Tomorrow, I will find Lucifer' ICE'LIAREA
