[IC] wizards vs the rest of the world

[ShadowVentus]

Michael wrapped his arms around her waist. He was blushing crimson, his mind also numb due to the move he just made. He could feel Grima trying to wrest control as he kissed Issa, the fell dragon despising this act of passion. Grima growled in his mind. "Stop defying me! That wretch is poisoning your mind with her affection! Allow me control!" I responded to him. "I won't let you harm her. Especially by using me..." Grima laughs at this. "Fool...you're my vessel. I have control over everything!"

[XxLyraxX]

Issa pulled back slightly, taking in breaths of air. Her cheeks felt on fire and she was sure her coloring resembled that of a tomato. She gazed shyly up at Michael, a small smile adorning her face.

[ShadowVentus]

Michael gazed directly back at her, smiling sheepishly. Grima, however, had finally had enough. "THIS PLACE SHALL BE YOUR GRAVE!" He bellowed in my mind. As a result, Michael's irises began flickering between brown and red, and he began to grit his teeth in pain, his head pounding. "Ngh!" Michael utters a small cry of pain. Just as this begins to happen, guards can be heard from outside. "We know you're in there! Come out and surrender or we'll burn this place to the ground!"

[XxLyraxX]

Issa gasped and opened her mouth, about to ask Michael worriedly if he was ok but she was interrupted by a banging on her front door. She gasped softly, whirling around to face it before looking back at Michael in concern.

[ShadowVentus]

Michael stumbles over to the door, opens it, and steps outside. His irises go completely red, his body enveloped by an evil aura, and his voice is not his own. "I...AM...GRIMA." As he says this, he extends his right hand toward the soldiers, his aura building up. The soldiers slightly cower, but aim their bows at Michael. "S-Stand down!" One of the soldiers commands.

[XxLyraxX]

"Michael stop!" Issa cries as she races over and tries to tug him back into the apartment. She sees the bows and cries out again in protest, trying to shield Michael's body with her own.

[ShadowVentus]

"Ma'am, move out of the way! This man is very dangerous!" One of the soldiers says. Michael continues to build his aura, not moving one inch. Issa sees in his eyes that Michael is struggling to regain control. "....EXPIRATION!" Grima roars, his aura crawling towards the soldiers, turning into solid black spikes that rise from the ground. "Fire!" One of the soldiers gives the order, arrows flying towards me. Suddenly, after Grima launches the attack, I regain control briefly and move Issa out of the way, taking multiple arrows as a cost of my action. "GRAAH!" Grima lets out a loud roar in pain, falling unto the ground. The soldiers, on the other hand, have met their demise. Those that hadn't died are gravely wounded and are on the brink of death.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa let out a scream of Michael's name and collapsed onto her knees beside him, shaking hands hovering over the arrows protruding from his back. "M-Michael?" She asked, laying a hand gently on his shoulder.

Michael turns his head so he can see you out of the corner of his red eye. Grima speaks. "This vessel is weak...you've corrupted it...you'll pay for this!" Michael's irises then revert to their normal color, a sign that Grima has retreated...for now. Meanwhile, I'm taking in all of the pain. "Augh! Where is...all this poison coming from...?" Issa can tell that he is finding it very hard to breathe due to him practically forcing out those words. "I'm...so sorry...so sorry..." Michael sheds a tear from his visible eye.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa frantically shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "You're not dying on me!" She cried and pressed her hands to his chest. She squeezed her eyes shut as a very bright glow surrounded her. Her eyes flashed open but instead of their normal pink color they were a bright blue. Her magic swirled around her before pouring into Michael. The arrows slowly were pushed out of his skin, the wounds healing shut. She then focused on the poison. The light grew brighter and suddenly a yowl sounded out. "Issa stop, you'll kill yourself!" Salem screeched, trying to reach his mistress to make her pull away. The light suddenly grew so bright it hurt the eyes before vanishing in a second, Issa's body collapsing to the floor. Salem yowled again, pelting to the girls side. "Issa? Issa!" He cried, placing his paws on her chest. Her face was drained of color and her chest was barely moving.

[ShadowVentus]

"Ngh...no...ISSA!" Michael shouts. Michael began using his own magic to heal her out of her critical state. "Don't you go dying on me!" He says, as he pours all of his magic into this. He goes past his limit to heal her fully. Unfortunately, some of the poison still remained in his system, so as he went past his limit, he bent his head to the side and coughed up a small amount of blood.

[XxLyraxX]

The color slowly returned to her cheeks and her breathing evened out. She remained unconscious but she looked heathery than she did previous. Salem breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Michael. "Thank you."

[ShadowVentus]

Michael shakes his head. "...Don't thank me just yet..," He pauses to cough up a bit more blood,"...Thank me when she's awake..that's when I know that my efforts weren't in vain..." His body involuntarily shudders.

[XxLyraxX]

Salem eyed the blood before he waved his tail and used his own bit of magic to levitate Issa's body into the air. "Come on, you need rest as well." He said as he padded towards the girl's bedroom, her body floating after him.

[ShadowVentus]

"Right...." Michael responds as he gets unto his feet and follows Salem, putting a hand on the wall to support him as he walked.

[XxLyraxX]

Salem laid Issa gently onto the bed before gesturing at it with his tail. "Lay down." He ordered Michael, giving him a stare that dared him to refuse.

[ShadowVentus]

Too tired to even make an attempt to refuse, Michael did as he was told and laid down on the bed beside Issa.

[XxLyraxX]

Salem waved his tail and a blanket lifted up and draped over the two of them. The feline then jumped onto the bed and curled up on the pillow beside Issa's head.

[ShadowVentus]

Michael slowly closed his eyes. When they finally closed, he fell into a deep slumber. Then Grima went to work. A shadowy aura cloaked Michael's body as he slept, traveling through the ceiling, and forming Grima's mark in the sky above where they stayed.

[KingOfKings]

the ceiling started to crack and with two or three kicks the ceiling went down and In Gyi landed in front of Michael. "i found you,,," she said with a cold voice and walked towards him
