Kuri had finally found her voice and was about to speak when the vase fell to the floor, startling her so much that she couldn't seem to remember what she was about to say. Rubbing the back of her neck in a sheepish manner, the dhole looked at the back of the cat, "Really, CiCi, I don't really remember much till about now." she answered with a small, albeit forced, laugh.
Walking towards Stealth, Kuri smiled. "Thanks for being worried for me." She then looked around, noticing that there was only a few people in the hall the five of them where standing. "Though, where's everyone else? Like Spade and the others?"

Myst got the creepiest of vibes in this dank stone crypt. The monk gave off the strongest of these vibes, as if an aura of darkness shrouded him. She started to feel nervous, but the further she walked through the strange hallways the more calm and relaxed she became. As if some unseen force was altering her state of being, lulling her into a hypnotyic and falsified sense of security.
She blindly followed the strange stone creature and the eerie monk. She was lead into a small room with a simple chair. A question was burning in the back of her mind, she wanted to speak, but something was holding her back. As though someone was searching through her mind, like flipping through pages of a book. She sat in the small chair, staring blankly ahead. Across the globe, Naia stood quietly, watching Master Celestus converse with the Shadow Walker, Andre. Trying to comprehend the broken and cracking words of the beast.
(ooc - Yes, a small post I know. But I've been suffering some writer's block.. all cleared up now though, next post will be more in depth.)

CC turned her attention from her hedgehog lover who had yet to speak to the other two, Thunder and Kuri, who had just joined in the comversation by answering her questions. She smiles, frustration still apparent on her black furred face but she hides it with a dazzling smile and shining, "Well Thunder, I would not feel too bad! We should all count ourselves lucky to be alive... even Amon and myself could not put a scratch on the demon Andre. We may not be able to do anything at the moment in regards to the gods and demons that we are fighting, but it does none of us any good to be down about the situation as we all fought hard!"
She glances over at Kuri and smiles at the Dhole, "Well, I am just glad to see you up and walking and safe... regardless of what happened and how you got back, though I am assuming that Amon was the one who brought you back from Syntaru's clutches."
Her voice stammers a bit upon this point but she recovers quickly and continues, "Well, let us not just stand around looking silly, let us search around to see if there are any others still around and if not then perhaps we should figure out something to do. I do not know about you guys, but I hate sitting around like a bump on a lump!"
CC smiles and winks at the group, glancing over at Amon and giving him half a smile although hurt and anger still burn clear in her eyes.

Stealth let out a sharp yelp as his tail was jerked back and when Cici let go he fell flat on his face."I wouldnt be talking about egos Mr ,Im unbeatable with my flashy powers and super weapons and training."he grumbled sarcasticly. He then looked tword the dhole with a small smile."Of course I was worried your probably one of the few here I can stand and HASNT PULLED MY TAIL!"he siad glancing at CC with a shake of his head before fully turned to her."Im plenty ready to continue, unless your not finished with your little lovers quarell, if not Ill just go back to my home sweet statue and wait for the damn godess to get back."

Shade did as his master bade, and went to engauge the Shadow Queen, drawing his own midnight blade from the ether the deathog charged in. A flurry of swipes cutting the air, keeping the lemur on her toes and back peddling to avoid the blade that rent the air with narry a whistling sound. A twirling dance of scythe work would dazzle even the most veteran of souls, perhaps not in the awe inspiring sense but certainly in the aura of knowing this individual has used this weapon to the point of it being an extension of themselves. And in Shade's case, it was. A small pattern began to develop, for there were many instances were the living shadow could have dipped in his point to knick at the dancing Apostle but he kept her in a rough circular trail.
"Blah, blah, blah, trechery, blah, blah, blah, Syntaru is the true lord and master, blah, blah, blah Aurora's inferior. I swear to the darkness you're like a bloody broken record. I've been tagging along with you for a week now and it's the same three things!"
And whilst Shade taunted Paladin gathered what little magical strength he had left to try his new trick. If it could contain a pure etheral spirit and Stealth, it should work on the Shadow Queen, it was designed after all to seal the likes of the Bat or the Devil himself. Finishing his quiet chant the deathog cast the black carbon dust into the air, the spell finding purchase as the black obsidian ring began to form.
"You're God can't help you here and my Goddess can not aid me either. Let us see which deciple is the stronger."
All that remained was the glow about the deathog, that painful touch to all things of evil darkness. It wasn't much, but any preasure he could take off the Goddess the better.
Meanwhile; Lucian was enjoying the company of the spell bound Myst. He was learning of all kinds of interesting facts. The race for the gems, the Demon loose on the mortal world, the fact that the Goddess was playing her hand directly in the affairs of mortals. The plight of this odd hedgehog and her tainted experience with her old master. It was all rather enlightening, especially as old vampire thought what power the soul gems of a demon might do in rebuilding his empire.
But as the sun was finally starting to set and more torches were lit, by some unseen servant, the mood subltely shifted. The hedgie had served her purpose as a source for news, and the bloodsucker seriously considered dispelling the illusion wrapping himself and his nature. Pondering what kind of screams of terror this icy individual would make. But perhaps Myst had not totally finished her service to the fake priest.
"Oh my, it certainly sounds like a battle of titanic porportions is about to take place. I'm sure some one will be in need of healing and council. Would you mind too terribly if I accompany you to this, what did you call it. Eye of the Prophet?"
Meanwhile; Augustus was in a bit of a pickle, the creature trying to strange him probably wasn't designed to throttle some one his size and strength and showed as it's tentacle like arms strained about the chest and neck of the mighty vanguard. It's surprise was complete and short lived when the head of the hammer the bull had launched returned to his upraised grasp and decended upon the defenseless bot. Metal met metal in a symphony of destruction and whilst the well made Hydra until lay in tatters the soul sculted cudgle didn't sport a scratch.
Snatching up the other hydra unit with his free hand Augustus went into a short twirl, the well weighted killing machine scratching and flailling at the vanguard but if he felt the damage it didn't show it. A moment later when it came launching in after the wolf Apostle, which he dodged at the last moment, a miraculous thing indeed as he had realized the only trap with in the Temple of Mortals.
"Ah, you've realized the one draw back to entering the Temple of Mortality. I don't think you read the lovely scripture on the front of the building, busy in your ambush no doubt. Allow me to recant for you then. 'And 'lo did mortality flourish under the nurturing touch of the goddess. And in return, those huddled masses begifted the Divine One with three gifts. Magic, Technology, and Love.' Bound into the very foundations of this buildings are the tennants of those gifts, and what is given can always be taken. Let us see dark little one, who is the stronger when we are stripped of our gifts hmm? You can try and run to the next room where th Staute of Mortals is but I'd run you down long before you could free the gem from it's obsidian tomb. Let us dance darkling, you have much to answer for."
Simon looked down and it was true, any Hydras that came toward the barrier of the Temple shut down, his own sensors seemed weak or completely non-opperational. The bull upon entering, lost his hammer and seemed more mortal now himself. Though no less impressive and daunting. Thoughts carreened through the ferals mind at a maddening pace. Would the gem be freed from this enchanted place? Could Syntaru open up a shadow gate from with in this locale after he got the gem? And was that rock grinding on rock sound really the vanguard just cracking his massive knuckles as he advanced on the wolf?

Thunder listened as Cici spoke, her words quite comforting. Then, Thunder scowled at Stealth for refering to Aurora so harshly.
"Watch you mouth, you cranky military fox!" Thunder snapped. "You should be thankful that Goddess Aurora has patience for you and your narrow mind! I may have powers and I may have trained alot, but at least my thinking involves more things than just technology, weapons, and fighting! Don't you have anybody to care about?"
The only reason Thunder hasn't become so harsh and set on war and fighting so much is because of his patience for the lighter side of life, like spending time with friends and loved ones, despite them being few and distant. He couldn't understand why Stealth only look at him through his powers and skills. It aggravated him. If Stealth took the time to actually get to know Thunder, he probably wouldn't be so pissed off at him all the time.

Rayne looked curiously at the Shadow Walker. The Vanguard was unsure if the creature was being earnest or if it was merely a trick. He decided to give the Walker the benefit of the doubt.
"Speak freely, yet know that if you deceive us in any form ye shall be incinerated in the light of the Holy Power."
Rayne rested himself on his walking staff, tilting his head a touch to better tune his hearing to the breaking words of the Shadow Walker. Though time was running short, Rayne felt it necessary to give everyone their chance. Elsewhere Amon was caught, ousted, and being stared down by the rather stern eyes of Ci Ci.
I, I am sorry dearest.. I realize the error and utter stupidity of my actions.. please come this way, I will explain in more detail in a less public forum.. it is complicated.
Amon extended his hand to the feline, hoping her understanding and compassion would win out over any angst or scorn held toward him. His ice blue eyes glinting in the light, giving look of surrenderence. His intentions were true, he wished to amend and explain why he had been acting so strange. To be open about the way he was feeling.. and why he had so foolishly lied to his dear love.

(ooc- sorry Syth... so stuck...)
Tala, dancing around in attempts to keep away from the shadow scythe that continues to be directed at her, finally leaps into the air and with a glaring and calculating eye sends a large blast of energy towards the shadow fighter, knocking him to the ground, "I am through playing traitor"
Her words are cut short though as Paladin's words reach her ears and she turns her glace towards him, cursing herself for her foolishness in thinking that the vangaurd would not be much more of an issue. The tinge of magic is in the air and her now keener senses pick up the stench of it, her eyes not quite picking up the black ring that is slowly forming around her. "And you...whatever mischief you are up to, do you think that it will stop me? I do not need to rely upon the power of my Lord, though his strength does fill me with new energy not felt before. I have yet to even be tired while you lay near panting upon the floor of this temple!"
She sneers derisively at the hedgehog and calling upon the shadows around her she begins to draw in an amount of energy not tried before by the lemur. Fur sheds lightly from her tail with the emergence of even more shadow within her soul, falling upon the group and disappearing amid the dust and rocks and her eyes flare with unholy energy. She unleashes the attack with a primal snarl, a concentration of energy so large that it shakes the very ground that Twilight stands upon, but back in her mind she is unsure of whether or not the attack will work, not knowing the manner of the magic she can now feel leaking in and almost sapping her of her energy.

CC looks hesitantly from Amon to the others who are bickering or just standing behind her, but she places her paw in his - stopping him for a mere moment with a single look in her eyes.
Turning towards the others she smiles politely, "Please, let us deal with this personal issue before we continue on planning. I assume that you all can be civil enough to eachother for the amount of time that it takes Amon and I to talk. Let go of your difference and petty bickering, there are larger things happening right now and I am sure our energies can be put to better use than infighting. We will return shortly..." This said she turns and faces her attention on the psionic hedgehog in front of her, "Lead on..."
She follows him where ever he leads, holding onto his paw lightly and watching him with a steady gaze. She does not speak, knowing that at this moment is a proper time for her to perhaps be quieter than normal.

Kuri really couldn't help but chuckle at what CC said, shaking her head. "I can at least say no one should be missing limbs when you return," the dhole said as she watched the hedgehog and cat left them to talk out whatever problems they had.
Turning to look at both Thunder and Stealth, she unexpectedly sighed. "Can't you even try to get along with each other?" she asked. Every time the two were in the same room, they couldn't help fighting, could they?

"Hey, it's not my fault he doesn't like me 'cause I wanted to train on my magic and build things." Thunder said. "I've been nothing but nice, and he's been a complete jerk. Jerks get dealt with, plain and simple."
Then he noticed the catgirl and the other one go.
"Hey wait," Thunder shouted. "I didn't get your names!"

Andre nodded at the iguana's words. "Your divine goddess has refused help from me. Though I could see why one of holy hands would not touch a tainted rag, it seemed unlikely that she should deny help in such times. It appears that even in strife Aurora honors deals of any kind, even with The Prophet. If not for that flaw I would be here beside you right now, instead of against you." He took a deep breath. "But instead I am ordered by both Aurora and Syntaru to complete Syntaru's final task for him. My deal was that I would do what The Prophet bid of me until he was done... to my foolish logic, I did not bother when to determine the end of that term. So now I am forced to do what you attempt to stop me from doing... And I see now that no matter how I go about it, my ideal is shattered. I will never go back to the Mobius I once knew if I claim this gem." The giant then chuckled weakly in self-loathing without his body shuddering from it. A marionette with a black heart.

The cat turns around for the barest of moments after hearing Thunder's plea for her name and she smiles kindly, her eyes asking Amon to wait a moment more, which he does silently.
"My name is CC and this is Amon... but do not worry, we will have much more time for introductions in a bit, we should not be gone for long I am sure. Please, Stealth and Thunder, take a few deep breaths and get along as we must stick together and sort out whatever issues we all have with one another"
With this said she looks pointedly back at the psionic hedgehog in front of her and then glances back at her new companions for a moment before walking off with Amon's paw in hers. They turn a corner and are soon gone from sight.
She walks strongly and quickly through the halls, stopping only when she is sure that none would be able to hear or see the conversation that would commence when the hedgehog saw fit to speak. The feline merely looks into his downcast eyes with her own shining green orbs, the hurt and frustration still clear as she could never hide her feelings from him.
"If you wish to go somewhere even more private then i will leave it up to you, but I do not think that we should leave this rag tag group for much longer. Speak now Amon, for I am willing and able to listen" She goes quiet and waits silently for his reply, trying her best to stay still but her tail twitching slightly out of nervousness and her ears back against her head.

Kurenai watched both the cat and hedgehog walk away before she turned back to both Thunder and Stealth. Thinking about what Thunder said, she asked "But wouldn't 'dealing with jerks' make you seem like a jerk to them?" It was a simple question that the dhole honestly wanted to know. From what she seen with the others, Thunder was pretty much nice to everyone else. Stealth, on the other hand, was a lot more withdrawn and tended to avoid just about everyone else. She found it odd tht they fought like, no pun intended, cats and dogs.
