Bio

This account is pretty inactive now. But I pop on from time to time to see if anything of interest pops up. I tend to drop out of things with writers block if I find myself lacking in interest, but do try to keep things long=term. Been offline for most of the last 12 months but hoping I might soon find something to get me back in that RP saddle.

All I'll say is, more then 1 person used blood magic in that vision :P and other then telling you it was a shadow hunter is all I'll say for now. Nothing stopping Allura from asking though :P
Ok so here we go:

Akira tries to use blood magic to force Volkran into telling him what he had told Allura, in other words to tell the truth.
Volkran takes advantage of the situation and snatches control away from a weakened Akira, however he is put under the influence of the spell and forced to tell the truth.
Rather then actually repeat everything that he'd just said which could be potentially damaging to Akira's mental state, Volkran projects his & Akira's memories of the events into Allura's mind.
The instability within the vision was brought about by Volkrans failure to piece together the scattered memory fragments or to project the scene completely from memory.
The first scenario where there's no speech is because Akira didn't actually witness what happened this was merely a reconstruction of what he was told had happened.

The vision is Akira's home town, who took him in after he became a demon, 1 of the many shadow hunters (Their numbers used to be quiet large even though there's only 2 left now) went there knowing that they'd hide Akira if he went there, especially after how Akira became orphaned due to a demons attack, all Akira would have to do is hide the demon well enough to pretend, or prove that he was the same person.

Akira, after finding out what has happened discusses with some towns people that it's probably best he should leave, and that they should cooperate with his pursuers. Although this shadow hunter was also from the same town, Akira's teachings to his old town is that if the means justify the means in their eyes then they're doing no wrong.

Expecting the worst Akira hadn't gone far from the town and was regularly watching over it from a distance. The burning and destruction were the results of the blood magic, though using something so powerful drained a lot of his energy leaving him with barely enough blood to function. This hunter was also however well versed in clerical magic and had merely killed the towns people to instill fear in them to bring forth their cooperation following the use of revival magics.

I don't want to discuss the reasons for Akira#s actions as that may give too much away :P sorry the explanation is a bit long but hope it suffices.
If you want me to change my post let me know. There are other options, I started typing and couldn't stop myself don't really know if I'm happy with it >.< let me know what you think?
"Allura?" Akira asks as the angel stands over him, he could see the determination for answers in her eyes, a burning gaze of both betrayal and mistrust. Akira looks away from her unable to hold her gaze. "So he told you what happened?" Akira's voice was somewhat winded, he was still trying to adjust to being back in his own body.
'I told her some of what happened, though you cut me short... just when I was getting to the best part.'
"What did you tell her?" Akira probes out loud, though after a few moments pass it was evident that the demon wasn't going to co-operate. Akira looks to Allura a frown on his face, his voice sounding completely void of emotion as he says. "I'm sorry..." Upon speaking Akira's eyes roll back and blood begins to excrete itself from his tear ducts, gravity merely pulls the bloodtears down the side of Akira's face to the floor. 'If you will not tell me, then I'll take the answer from you' Akira's thoughts raged with the right for succession though in his current state, his control is overthrown by the demon with ease. Akira's eyes roll back to normal though Allura is merely greeted with their fire red gaze and a wicked smile.

"I am sorry that you wish to talk to that... mortal, though for both our sakes I cannot allow him to unlock that memory. I will be free, if he finds out it's likely to crush what little mortality and mentality he has left." The demon moves itself away from Allura as it stands up to his feet. "He has pressed me for the truth with his magic." The demon sighs dejectedly. "And unfortunately for me I am sworn in blood to abide to his bidding. Though I don't think you truly understood the story, that was my hope but I also hoped you wouldn't blabber like a fool to this man the second he returned..." The smile slowly changes to a frown as the demon steps towards Allura. "You ruined my fun... then allow me to show you the truth!" The demons steps hasten as he reaches and rests the palm of his hand against Allura's temple. As he does so, the house seems to fall apart around them and disappear from existence. The image of the demon flickers away from existence as a scene begins to build itself up, a town, or at least the outskirts of a town. Akira's body reappears as a silhouette next to Allura, though the Aura it gave off made it clear it was still the demon.

The silhouette points ahead and a person seems to materialise out of thin air, on initial inspection of appearance and attire, this person looked very much like Akira although on closer inspection it was clear that it wasn't. The man steps towards Allura, his face full of anger and hatred his lips move as if to be shouting though no words are projected. As the scene unfolds another man dressed in commoners rags steps through Allura as though she wasn't even there. It would seemed the angered hunter was addressing this man all along. The scene disappears almost instantly on the commoners appearance. The commoner remains in place as a room seems to build around them, but halfway through constructing itself it breaks apart a familiar voice says. "Fine, if they're getting too close I'll leave. Don't anger him, he may have lived here with us once but it's a dangerous game to play."
The silhouette shakes its head at Allura and Volkrans voice rings out 'This is merely a reconstruction, if you try to communicate or change anything it'll end in failure.' Then a third scene begins to construct itself before themselves the silhouette's voice is weak as it warns 'prepare yourself'. Before the scene is complete cries of fear and pain echo as though bouncing around within a councils hall. Bit by bit detail by detail, houses construct themselves only to be torn down by flames and waves of darkness, the hunter from the first scene materialises once more amongst it. The man hangs his head almost ashamed of what he has done.

He turns as though to look at Allura, and this time his voice projects. "I'm sorry Akira, when I revive them they're sure to tell the truth. You must be stopped." The silhouette materialises into a normal form before Allura's eyes anger striken on his face, though it was clear it was Akira but it was merely part of the reconstruction. The man approaches the hunter who's deteriorated and weak from the blood magic it'd just used, assuming Volkran's story had held true. Although angry Akira's voice seems completely void and inhumane speaking as he drives a dagger coated with his own blood through the hunters back. "This town.... These people, they die with you. I damned them.... and you.... I'll remember their cries." Akira drops to his knees covering his ears as the scene falls away once more.

The house that they currently reside returns to reality. The vision seeming as nothing but a fleeting dream, Akira stands before Allura the red flickering away from them as his brown eyes release more tears of blood. Shocked Akira staggers away from Allura back out into the hallway, his eyes look before him though not to Allura himself, he kneels down in the hallway. "Cover your ears." He calls to Allura, although his tone seemed more demanding then anything else. The man pulls his knees against himself, his head slowly rocking back and forth as it comes once again, that which had came for him in the caves, no level of noise suppression could block it out only muffle it to those that did not understand its origin. If one were to look outside, they'd see that only those who had witnessed the magic would be effected as cries of pain, anguish and blood curdled last breaths ring through the small house. Akira closes his eyes as though it'd make it that little bit less real to his psyche, once again the cries end with the all too familiar blood curdled roar of the cave demon that was killed only days ago. It was clear now, these cries were of those who'd fell victim to devastating effects of the blood magic Akira wielded: The death of his hometown and all those who'd fallen to his blade whilst he was using its deadly power, they were trapped now both guilty and innocent all would suffer and in return make him suffer due to his actions...
I'm finally back, sorry for the wait. Hope my post doesn't disappoint ^_^. Trying to remember the original idea was difficult, I think of may of changed some things around, oh well hope you like it.
As Allura steps away Volkran steps forward once more keeping within her personal space, noticing it was enough to cause at least a small amount of discomfort. "Well now." The demon speaks with a smile. "There's probably a lot of things you should know, but this is probably most important." He leans in towards Allura making the space between them minimal before stating, "Though this story teller will take its payment before it does its telling." The demon spoke quietly before, without warning, kissing the angel on the cheek. The demon staggered backwards from the immense burning sensation it caused as he wipes his lips with the back of his left hand as he says with a chuckle. "Wow angel, that skin of yours really does pack a punch." If Volkran could imagine what it were to feel like, he would think that it would be like a mortal trying to kiss a raging fire. His eyes flicker red before taking a further step back and resting his right and on the hilt of his sword. "Now now... don't do anything you'll regret, you should trust your instincts more, but you did ask for an answer..."

The demon clears its throat ready to say its piece, though could it really be trusted? Volkran thinks for a moment as though trying to phrase what he wanted to say before starting. "So let me tell you a Story, one of a Hero once bold, and a Town that would not do as its told. The Villain of this story? A Demon they say, could it be the one that stands before you today?" Volkran winks as if to try and provoke Allura before continuing. "But this town hid the Demon, and they hid him well, one that was disowned by Heaven and spat out from Hell. When our Hero arrived they all refused to speak, claiming the Hero was simply to weak. For their cooperation was forced and sworn to not end, for to the Demons will they'd always bend. This response brought forth an anger buried for years, revenge blinded this Hero to friends once sincere. So he swore them a week before it'd be too late, a week came and went they'd sealed their own fate." Volkran let out a sigh before continuing. "He returned a week later in his rage still consumed, he was merely shunned and provoked by those that pretended confused. So he called forth a magic that he knew they all feared, and their pleads for mercy just fell on deaf ears. For his mind was gone and the contract was signed, pure evil swept through and left nothing behind. Though he never knew it they tried to confess, in the week he was gone the demon had left." Volkran pauses for a moment taking his eyes off of Allura before looking to her once again. "Time has run short, so the story must too, though as I look in your eyes I'm sure they told you." Volkran smiles yo Allura as he moves his hand away from the hilt of his sword. "This will probably hurt. You should be careful with what you do next, wouldn't want to hurt your friend."

As Volkran finishes his sentence an unseen force hits Allura's back although the level of force seemed almost insignificant. However the next body it hits is Akira's, the force of the impact knocking the body like a thrown rag doll as it hurls Akira's body back out into the hallway landing on his front. "He was right, that was painful." Akira states as he struggles with the basic concepts of movement, his thoughts needing to readjust to being back in a body. He shakingly pushes himself up from the floor, looking forward to see the door Open. "Allura?... Allura are you alright?" Akira calls out assuming the worst may of happened in his absence if Volkran had got inside the room there was no telling what he may have done. He pulls himself to the doorway, the idea of getting up and walking at this time would of been far to complicated, when he see's Allura within he lets out a sigh of relief before turning himself over onto his back. At least Volkran hadn't managed to harm her in anyway that he could notice, that was at least a small victory there. Of course Akira knew nothing of their conversation, to his knowledge Volkran may have spent the whole time trying to get into the room.
heyhey. just a quick heads up... my home PC is in a shop for repairs (either the graphics card or Motherboard blew). Which means although I've got my post down to a possible 2 ideas :P I won't be able to post it for a while as doing it at work isn't exactly ideal. Speak soon ^_^
The demon smiles warmly as Allura opens the door, thinking on how Akira would act in such a situation as this. He had stolen the man's identity to trick the angel enough it would seem as there was no act of violence towards him at all. He smiles as she looks away, taking pride in her discomfort, though he quickly hides it ans he lifts his hand to Allura's cheek and slowly turns her head so that she's facing him once more. "Hey, you've nothing to apologise for. Sometimes it can be hard to tell, who's really in control." His words of choice may of been poor, albeit deliberate as he tries to fuel the angels paranoia and force a level of distrust between the pair. "I didn't take you as the sensitive kind that would so easily take offence." He continues as he softly strokes Allura's cheek as his hand drops back to his side. "Had I known, I could of warned you before hand about this level of behaviour that he can cause. He's meddlesome, bitter, he hates what he has become almost as much as I do and in that he'll do whatever he can to entertain himself." Trying to speak like a mortal was hard, having to pretend to have some level of affection for another even more so. How long he'd put on this... act for he hadn't decided although it was certainly going to be fun. "However, I'm glad we've managed to resolve the issue." He states hugging Allura tightly, holding back the pain of the soft burning sensation it was causing him, he smiles as he strokes the tattoo on the back of her neck to provoke the angel further before realising her from his grasp.

"What do you mean this will-" Before Akira had time to finish his sentence he was hit in the chest, by what felt like a shock wave but in his current state he didn't see how this could cause him pain. As he looks up he watches as the silhouette of the man he was speaking to seems to become smaller and smaller. It was as though he was moving through this plane of nothingness. As it turns out, he was and with some velocity within it. In front of him a hand seems to materialise in the darkness 'you shant escape here!' a voice of unknown origin beckons as it tries to grasp at Akira, though his spectral travel was too fast for it to stop him and it eventually fades from sight as well.

Back at the house it'd seem time for fun was running out, Akira's essence was on its return, the demon could feel it. He rolls his eyes as he realises there's much else he could do before looking to Allura and saying, "Remember when you said you wouldn't kill me because I haven't killed an innocent?" The demon asks as he raises his hand and strokes Allura's cheek once more. He leans towards her and whispers, as his hand strokes its way down the side of Allura's face and stops mere centimetres from her neck. "There's something you should know." the demon pauses, as he sniffs softly getting a slight kick from the angels divine aura.

. o O ( This may seem like a weird place for me to stop the post but I kinda know where I want to go with it, and if I go any further in this post it'll ruin it >.< hope you don't mind )
Akira was somewhat bewildered as Allura responds {i}What look?[/i] he thought to himself, how could he forget something so soon. "Surely not." Akira states in protest. "I'd have no reason to..." before he could continue Akira could hear the sinister sound of the demon within being able to hold back its own amusement of the situation, laughter raking through Akira's mind. In a spout of anger he kicks the corner of the door holding back as much as possible so as not to damage it. "Damned Demon! Can't leave well enough alone in issues that do not concern yourself!" Akira paces by the door as he tries to calm himself down rather then feed the demon the anger it so much craved.
'You'd dare shut me out and lower your guard!' the demon snarled in response. 'Let me remind you that without me you'd of died countless times until now, you'll show me the respect and fear I deserve!'
"I'll show you respect when you lay upon my blade fowl being..." Akira muttered in response.

"I'm sorry." Akira states once more. "I need to learn to control it better. I meant no offence to you, I wouldn't intentionally look to upset you." His tone had become calm once more as though his sudden outburst was the demon knowing which buttons to press to annoy him so easily.
'We need to talk Akira' A familiar calm voice called out to Akira though he had more pressing matters to deal with, smoothing things back out with Allura was more important.
"Not now." Akira muttered in response although not exactly quietly.
'I'm afraid I must insist, you'll be fine just let that demon stroll around for a moment this will be quick.'
"No Wai-..." Before Akira could protest he was spirited away from his own body, although at first it seemed he was still in the house everything returned to the darkness that he was in only minutes ago. "So... this was you?" Akira asks as he looked to a silhouette in the darkness.
"Indeed my friend, although I could not safely bring you to my location earlier. You need to hasten your passage here."
"It's not so simple." Akira responds "I'm... with someone making it a coincidence is lengthening the journey."
"When shall you be here there?" The Silhouette questions Akira openly.
"Tonight, we'll use the cover of the night to leave this town and head there immediately."
The figure before Akira seems to sigh. "I imagine I'll be free before then I'll assist you if I can." The silhouette raises its hand towards Akira. "Prepare yourself, this could be painful."

Meanwhile the demon stood, wearing Akira's face as it reaches down to the door knob turning it slowly. He sighs heavily as the door doesn't budge as he goes to open it 'locked' Volkran thought to himself. 'Well that'll ruin my fun time to act it out I suppose.' "Look Allura I'm sorry will you please open the door? Talking to it makes it seem like I'm merely talking to myself." The demon even managed to con the man of his own voice, it was however taking some effort to maintain as his eye colour flickers between red and brown. As the demon waits it looks down towards the sheathed sword lifting it softly. "Mortals would not craft with this metal..." he mutters to himself, his smile returns once more as he comes to a realisation and drops the weapon back into its sheath. He eagerly let patiently stands at the door, curious as to whether or not the angel would buy into the act and open it for him.
That took forever to put up >.< Sorry I been unable to get on for like the past 3 days, every time I tried the site was down for maintenance :( Also I feel I shot myself in the foot with my last post. Hopefully won't take too long to recover from ^_^
