Shida dried out his hair by brushing his hand through it, evaporating the water. "Water versus fire?" he jested. This ones practically a no brainer.. "Finally some entertainment, I accept your challenge. Go on, take the first shot." He readied himself into a fighting stance, one leg forward and his arms in a lose guard. He felt the attention in the room drawing to them, and his heart began to race. He'd better be worth my time.
Shidas red hair drooped down in front of his face, and his golden eyes were simmering from thoughts of vengeance, how could Will betray him like this? After everything he put into place, there was gonna be a party, we were gonna drink alcohol, chill in the hotub, get ice girl to make it snow, and maybe even see some boobs. But Will was not the right man for the job, and he never forgave himself for not seeing that at first. After Aerilyn made her comment about him getting cooled off, Shida, turned his petrifying gaze to Will, and very intentionally set his fedora on fire.
Shida often dreamed of the times in his past. He had been so used to staying in nice hotels almost every night, he blew all of his cash after every hijacking from his days as a raider, sometimes buying or sneaking his way into the hotels rich people use when traveling between cities. He often had himself his share of prostitutes as well, they were not hard to find in the rich or poor neighborhoods for that matter. But he was always viewed as a gentleman when he was in a hotel, he often referred to it as, " the laughing mask" when he was drunk. It had been his alter ego and double life he bragged about to his friends mostly while intoxicated as well.. and not all of it was entirely true, he may have slightly exaggerated some events for entertainment purposes.. not that he could remember that well anyways. He said things like "No piece of shit poorer than I could ever be with one one hundredth as many women as I by the time I die, and no man as rich and powerful as me will ever be as good of lay!"-Letting out laughs that sounded almost too enjoyably insane.- People were easy to fool when he was hiding behind the mask of wealth. He listened to many men brag, about their wealth, and their prosperity, and the way that they manipulate people.. One man told him of a time that he killed his wife, to collect the life insurance, in order to start a fundraiser for a cure for a disease that caused an epidemic a few years back. He said that it had made him billions within the first year..and that there was never any plan to make a cure in the first place. By abusing the state of political affairs, he said it was easy to accomplish this.. He was repulsed by this man, and later made him pay for his mistakes, he made him paid the price for his crimes against humanity, and that was all the reason Shida needed to end him. The distaste stirring in him as the man spoke to him hiding behind his mask imagined doing unspeakable things to this urchin possessed by greed.

When he awoke from a shallow sleep he had wondered if he'd met any of these Vygrons before..

After listening to the old mans speech as wholeheartedly as he could, which was not very much, he just sort of leaned into his breakfast, randomly grabbing at the blur of the table in search of food. He didn't even remember how he'd even gotten up to this table, everyone around him seem as if their faces were a blur. He tried to ignore it, but this has happened before, on a few occasions.. it will go away he told himself, as he drifted off into a nap in his bowl of vegetables.

When he finally snapped out of it, he heard the old man saying "You Hygrons should talk less and act more, its almost noon already."

Shida awoke, and suddenly had a brilliant idea..
He went over to the fluvius elemental, Will, he recalled.
"Will, I need you too help me make a hot tub, if you go convince that earth elemental to just wave her hands around a little, I will give you first dibs on a decent soak..." -after a short pause- "Although you look like you've already had one..."
Shida stopped and realized what was important here.
He leaned in closer and cupped his hand next to his mouth to cover his words too Will in a loud whisper.
"Look, if we play our cards right, maybe we can get a couple of these babes to go topless too eh? Have ourselves a real party before setting out to die. Whadaya say?" he nudged his side with his elbow playfully and smiled. Will looked as though his hat was going to fly off.
Shida slowly looked over at the girls laying in the grass across the haven, making sure Will noticed where his eyes were going.
"Bet you'd like to water those cantaloupes eh?"
Shida let out a barrel of laughter before Will had time to respond, slapped him on the back, and exclaimed "Don't let me down shark boy!"

Shida, praising himself for being a tactical genius as he strutted over to the stone nature freak had summoned out of nowhere, now that he thought about it, this journey was turning about for the best so far. Laying there was all sorts of weaponry, many of which he was already accustomed to. What caught his eye the most was the bow, beautifully carved out of golden yew and set with rubystone engravings. As he reached to grab it, it lit up in flames between his fingers, casting long waves of flame up and down the bow. A flame that never dies.. He looked down again, seeing a curved sword, resembling a Kukri, he recognized its beauty, as he had long had a strong appreciation of ancient weaponry. The blade was steel, but scorched to a darker reflection, it had an onyx stone handle as well, the blade traveling all the way through the hilt. A master smith must have carved this a long time ago.. he thought, picking it up, light in his grip. He also saw something strange, it was a small stick, resembling a handle. Not knowing exactly what it was he picked it up, it suddenly began to feel warm. He turned around away from the others, and instinctively, swung it in a lashing motion. What to his surprise, a long string of flame, extending well over 15 feet danced madly through the air, he felt it subside to his will, and then he retracted back into the handle and tucked the piece of stone into his pocket. He had never felt so much control of his power than when he held these weapons, they almost unburdened the fire inside of him, putting him at ease.

He walked back over to Will to see how the progress on the hot tub was going. He then realized everyone was talking about tactics on how to beat the Vygrons now, and felt pretty cheated, he glared at Will, and at his fedora. He walked over to everyone and exclaimed the following "So, which one of you lucky ladies is gonna get to be my girlfriend for the rest of the journey?" He let out a big smile to all of them. "Do you really plan on dieing out there without at least getting a little bit of action? Will told me that one of you here's got a crush on me, and he even said that he can "sense it in the flow of things". Pretty accurate information coming from a water sage like him you know." He turns to Will who is looking at him with confusion and gives him a credible head nod in return. Shida then glanced over at Aerilyn standing in the back, knowing he'd succeed in drawing her attention, he then winked at her knowingly.
Even though Shida knew there would never be any glory, any approval, in fact the entire population would view him and all of them as terrorists for fighting a war unseen by everyone but them, he barred his teeth, and decided casting this truth out to the others now would be detrimental. All he saw now was the hope the for a better future.. way off in the distance, waiting for him to grasp it. He went over to the nearest tree, half of the group had already fallen asleep. He figured he would rest his eyes as well, although he would find that sleep would not come as easy as he had hoped, for many thoughts of the future to come burdened his mind as he drifted away.
So, two weeks without food and three days without water equals death right?
Shida listened to and watched them all in silence, the hour had grown late, and he was restless. When the silence grew stronger, he picked himself up and marched over to the bonfire. He stood, looking into the flames. Suddenly, amidst his staring; he felt something calling to him and his blood grew warmer. It wasn't excitement or joy he felt, but he did feel indulged by a presence. Before he could blink, a great flaming bird cast out its wings from the bonfire, and rose up in front of Shida. He looked into the birds eyes, beady, black and char-coaled like burning lava, he realized then what he must do. "These Vygorn bastards want to control us, they want to take everything from us, our will, our lives, our food, our individuality and our humanity. I've been sick and tired of being pushed down by a force that I can't even see for so long." As he said that, he thought of all the people he knew that had lost their will to survive, lost there passion for life, and he swelled up inside. Shida took a deep breath. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and to all of you who choose to walk this path of death, and shall fear no man or beast, I vouch to protect and honor your life and ask you the same courtesy unto mine. My name is Shida, and from this moment forth, we are brothers of a pact that no man or evil otherwise can influence, and I believe that is something worth fighting for."
I will be posting once more before we leave the cave to tie up my characters intro and help set the block for the next phase.
Shida, looked almost shocked for a quick moment, although he believed his eyes would never betray him. He found himself taken aback as heard the words that pressed themselves against his ears. Only few times, had he known a man to speak with such conviction yet understanding. After a small while to himself, what was seconds of relief. The light in him, shifted to a lower burn..
"I left what I thought could have been a human life behind a long time ago, and I've never been the type to dwell in the past. But the only way I've survived up until now is taking what I need and giving nothing back. I'm sure some of you here could truly say the same for yourselves."
His head slowed towards the others.
"Call me selfish if you will, but there are people out there who would destroy the world if they had the power we have, I know, because I spent a lot of my time killing them." He said with a glimpse of what may very well have been, sadness, or anger, unknown to himself.
"I don't know if I can stop myself from having lost faith in humanity, but i think I can learn to hate these Vygorns even more. That is, if tree huger over there isn't lying to us and this is some kinda fuckin' suicide cult for nature."
His eyes moved to the flame as he took a seat leaning against a tree a few feet away.. he propped his arms up on his legs, unmoving, locked away in his gaze into the bonfire.

During his brooding, when one of the girls at the bonfire made a remark about pushing him into the void, he kept his eyes pointed towards the fire and tried to make it seem as though he'd barley heard her.
"Are any of you guys buying this? There's enough food and water here to survive for a millennium! I say we kill this old man and live it up here."

The room is silent, the old man turns back at Shida and gives him a glare.

Shida stands up, and seems to bask in the light of being the center of attention, with a half grin on his face.

"You all know what its like out there, I can see it on your faces. Death, chaos, famine, thievery, war, whats the point of this world anymore other than to kill or be killed? I say, fuck the human race, and let it be sucked into the black void of existing or non-existing, whatever! This will probably be the first day i don't have to rob someone to get my next hot meal. And what if we do win? Then what? We all go holding hands into the sunset together? All of our problems are still gonna be there waiting for us when we get back. Humans have to be just as corrupt as these Vygorn whatever the hells. So i think for now, I'm gonna live it up here with my buddy nature face over there until the (and he makes the quotation marks with his fingers) "Day Of Reckoning" rolls around. You can all go off and get sucked into a black void of shit for all I care."

Shida pauses for a moment, doing his best to look stern, analyzing everyone. Few of them seem to make eye contact giving him dirty looks, others hang their heads in what he thought to be hopelessness looking into the flames.
Yeah, ok. Maybe i will go for half demon instead.
