Stand, See, This?{Azzie/Sembla}

[Rivaxorus]

Illusion Wasteland, it was easy, to tell that the illusions could be controlled if in the right state of mind. The fumes that the wolf sunk up into his nose, it felt good to get away from reality. He had a great sense of direction as well, so it would be easy to get out of this place. The sand under his feet, reminded him of ashes, that had fallen from the immortal sky that day. What deal had he made to deserve this? Yet, he would not break, he may have reverted to a god's true self, but in this body his powers were limited, as was his spirits. He moved a clump away easily watching a petrified flower break into more dust, then blow away in the wind. "This place...is so different from my home, in a sense, it's the same" Yarichu said with a sigh.

'What is it? Is this place like where you live above?' Hanataro asked Yarichu through his head. Yarichu closed his eyes then opened them again, looking at the moon, it was only a sliver, but in his two different colored eyes, it seemed to be his salvation. "Somewhat...now anyway since it's been tainted." Yarichu said as he started walking further down from the border. Sitting himself under the shadow of a bare tree, the fumes would take an half an hour to take effect, he knew that from being here so many times, considering he could choose what the illusion did to himself. He then pulled himself near the floor, feeling the sand in his fur as if it was a soft cushion.

'Do you like this place? After all, you seem to come here often....' Yarichu narrowed his eyes. "You ask too many questions." He muttered through his lips as he put his head sideways down in the dust. Hanataro went silent and Yarichu sighed, looking at the dust. When you looked away from the border, it seemed like these lands went on forever and forever, Yarichu wasn't about to find out though. He sighed again and sat up, just waiting for something to happen, he really didn't care.

"A wasteland that causes you to see illusions? Sign me up, right, Souldier? It's so exciting~!" Sembla said. Souldier rolled his eyes.
"It's best to be careful here. The illusions--"
"Are powerful. I know. God, you're such a killjoy! If I just use my control over air, no illusions will come, you know!" She stuck her tongue out. Souldier wasn't sure she was going to actually do it. These illusions sometimes provided a much welcome escape. Sembla dashed forward, then stopped short, seeing Yarichu.
"Ooh! Is this guy an illusion? Can I make him dance for me?" she asked, then concentrated hard, as if thinking the word "dance" over and over would make him do it. Souldier glared at Yarichu.
"I don't think that's an illusion." He tensed, ready for a fight with the wolf.
"Not an illusion, huh? ...Then I guess we should say 'hi'!" Sembla charged toward Yarichu, despite Souldier's protests.
"We don't know whether he is a friend or foe!" he shouted, but his protest fell on deaf ears. On days like this, he wondered why he had chosen Sembla to be his brother in flight. She just wanted a new thrill. In fact, Sembla wouldn't mind if Yarichu just up and attacked her for no reason. It would keep things interesting. She stopped in front of Yarichu.
"Greetings! You're not an illusion, are you?" she asked. Smooth, Sembla. Smooth. Souldier face-palmed as he perched on her shoulder.

Azrael growled at her own weakness as she limped throught the lands. She couldn't find Eclipse, she couldn't stand up to Minlo, she couldn't, she couldn't, she couldn't! She hated that she couldn't even defend herself. Her appearance said that mcuh. She was beaten up, and one paw was bloody, and appeared broken, though it was only torn up.

She stopped, blinking tiredly when she saw a pair of wolves quite near. Appearantly the fumes where blocking her nose if she had come close without sensing them. She growled slightly, her ruff of fur along her neck raising threateningly. She tried to relax, telling herself that the where most likely just illusions, but she couldn't. Something told her these wolves where no illusion.

She moved back forward, growling to herself. She wasn't in the mood for company, but they where in her way, and she refused to change her course for the longer. Why should she, when she was in pain and the wolves in front of her where most likely illusions.

Yarichu felt a presence near him, a female, with a brother in flight on her shoulders. The golden eagle seemed to be strong, it was likely that he had made a last minute choice to join this wolf, because he knew those birds well in those mountains. The pure white wolf sat himself up, narrowing his two different colored eyes, one was a cloudy silver the other was red with black clouds fluttering in it, mysterious natural colors that belonged to him in this body. "I doubt I would be a illusion if I didn't attack you miss." He said politely, dipping his head, these wolves were so easy to read. Then he turned, watched as another female approached him. 'Woah man your lucky, like a ladies man.' Yarichu growled to himself then smiled at the approaching female.

"Dear, you shouldn't wander alone if you're going to get hurt like that. Quite a pretty thing like you shouldn't be getting hurt in a time like this." The rogue said. Yet, she didn't seem like the type to want pity. Showing her weakness was to be alone, she was obviously supposed to be in a group. Yet, when Yarichu got a better look at her, a even wider smile pressed his face, a not so loyal compactness of his command. It was Azrael, one of the wolves that Minlo was controlling with just a bit of his ghost spirit powers. "Isn't that right dear? You can't show off your strength unless your with that little weakling friend of yours?" Yarichu was about to say, but he refrain, because his cover would be blown then.

Yarichu looked at the golden eagle, tilting his head to think of ways to impress. "Such a noble creature, it's harsh up in those mountains, by the looks of it you haven't left your home long ago." He said, then looked back at Sembla, "Deary, there is no need to fear illusions with me around, It's simple for me to control them. Really, it's a trick of these fumes. Half an hour it takes, it's been about ten minutes since I arrived here so the illusions have some time to start the fun." He told her. She seemed to be the type who liked to see strange and new things.

[lidarose]

"Oh, my God! You're hurt!" Sembla exclaimed to Azrael. "I know how to help somehow! Uhhh...Actually, I don't know how to heal, and there aren't any plants nearby...Oh! I know! I can use the wind currents to give you a ride to wherever you need to go!" Souldier face-palmed once again.

"You cannot control the winds for that long," he said, then turned to Yarichu and ruffled his feathers. "You're right. I haven't been with her long. However, I did have good reason to choose her." His eyes seemed to harden on Yarichu.

"Maybe you can help her!" Sembla said to Yarichu. "Or maybe we could help her together! I don't wanna stand around looking at illusions unless she's in a safe place!" Souldier clicked his beak.

"Are you sure she even wants help from us?"

"Oh, good point! Hey, injured fae, want some help?" Sembla asked, approaching Azreal. She looked over her shoulder at Yarichu. "I'm not afraid of illusions. I just think it would be exciting to see one! Don't you think so, Souldier?" The eagle rolled his eyes.

"I don't much care for illusions. If you ask me, you live enough in one."

"Ooh! Harsh, Souldier. Harsh. I'm hurt," Sembla said with way too much emotion for her to be serious. "Anyway, all I'm worried about right now is helping our guest get home." She turned back to Azreal. "That is, if that's where you're intending to go, of course."

[Ladi Shad!]

Azrael growled again, louder this time, to help ward off these unwanted companions. "Blow off. I don't need your help," She sbarled, glaring at the fae of the two. She seemed rather scatter-brained, someone who needed attention to know that, as Eclipse would say, she had a reason for existance. It was annoying, wolves like that. They yapped like little puppies. Nothing as good as her or Eclipse's reason for existance. Her sort-of-adopted brother's reason for living was killing, dilivering souls to his dear god. And her's? Why, Azrael's reason for existance was none other than to destroy that horrid excuse for a god, Minlo!

She then looked at the white wolf. She was close enough now to scent that he was a ghost wolf, but he didn't seem to be under Minlo's control. If he was, the first thing would be he'd attack her while she was weakened, second... He wouldn't be near so kind. He'd be like that shadowy fae, attacking harmless pups. "And you. Don't call me dear. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thank you," She growled, her ears plastered back. They heated in a wolfish blush at her obvious somewhat-lie. She could take care of herself. It just didn't look like it, at the moment.

[Rivaxorus]

Yarichu flinched when the other fae started talking with the injured one. It got on his nerves, but the main point in things was to keep your composure. He then listened to Azrael's words, read her face and her actions. He nearly laughed but just smiled looking at her. "Oh, then what shall I call you dear? If you're very capable of taking care of yourself you would not have those wounds." He spoke, with a flick of his tail. He looked at her wounds, of course there were no herbs, but that didn't mean he couldn't easily heal her. Yet, that would just be showing compassion, he never did that, even if he would be forced to do so, it just wasn't his sort of thing.

'Can I get the annoying one?' Hanataro mused. Yarichu growled to himself as a reply. Hanataro was so cheery, despite the situation that he was in. Yarichu flicked his tail as he looked Azrael with his two different colored eyes, he could feel the fumes consuming them, which was a good thing as well as bad. If your mind wasn't strong enough there was no point in being here unless in a group such as this. 'Ten more minutes and we'll all be in illusion wonderland' Hanataro made a note Yarichu looked at the other two. Ten minutes it was then, that was when the real fun would start for all of them.

[lidarose]

"Don't need my help, huh?" Sembla snarled. "Then all those wounds on you are imaginary, is that it? A clever illusion to make me think you need help?!" She was on the verge of using her air element to smack some sense into Azreal, but then, she gained her composure, trying to act aloof. "Whatever. I'll just leave you on your own to die, then." She turned around and stalked toward Yarichu.

"That's exactly what you should have done in the first place," Souldier commented. "The strong live. The weak-" he looked directly at Azreal when he said weak "die." He ruffled his feathers. "And you shouldn't go toward that other wolf. He could be a threat. Just because he hasn't attacked you yet doesn't mean he isn't going to."

"Relax, Souldier," Sembla said, stopping in front of Yarichu. "If he tries anything, I am capable of fighting." She shrugged and walked a little ways away from Yarichu before sitting down. "I think this is a perfectly lovely place. I could make it my home." Souldier face-palmed to this, because making your home in a place where the illusions seemed so real was obviously not the smartest thing to do.

"We should probably leave, Sembla," he responded reasonably. "I don't think either of us are wanted here."

[Ladi Shad!]

Azrael glared at the ghost wolf, enraged at his insolence. When one fights, they get hurt. It is a fact, one accepted when two go into the dance of battle. She won, didn't she? The other left with much worse wounds than she. The most she got off with was a few scrapes and sore muscles and a paw that looked worse than it accually was. "You may call me by my name, which is Azrael. Not that you're polite enough to tell me yours," She growled, drawing herself up. She'd not let this brute say what she could and could not handle. She battled Minlo and lived to speak of it, and had the scar to prove it! No simple-minded brute would ever tell her whether or not she could or could not care for herself.

She then redirected her glare to the bird-brain and her pet. "If I have not died yet, I doubt I will anytime soon," She simply said, though she was not speaking of her current situation. She was speaking of her condition, forever tortured by the ghost god, forced to do his will, no matter how horried or dishonorable. "Oh, and if you truely want to make this your home.. you're much dumber than I first made you out to be," She said,sitting on her haunches. If she was going to stay and speak to these infuriating wolves, she might as well sit and do it.

[Rivaxorus]

"Who said I was thinking about making this my home." Yarichu chuckled, watching the fae. He was almost completely ignoring the one with the brother in flight. "The names Yarichu. Former member of the Inu pack." He stated with a little pathetic bow. Then turned to the other two. Nothing to say to them he stood up as the world around them began to change, and became a meadow of yellow flowers, with mountains in the background. 'Wow this one looks really real' Hanataro said. Yarichu shook his head and looked at the other girl again, his faithful servant. "Well then girls, would you like to leave?" He asked in the politest way possible.

He enjoyed this time with them, this wary time with both females. One a rare wolf with a brother in flight, the other a mistress in control with just a piece of his powers. He could control these illusions make them see whatever he wanted them too, unless their conscious interfered and wacked the hole thing up. Yarichu felt the blossoms of the meadow fly up and swirl around them, "Ladies, make your choice quickly, because this could be one hell of a ride, grumpy or curiously intertwined." He said, describing the two of them. Watching as they flew up into the blue sky.

[lidarose]

Sembla stomped her foot down.
"I'm not leaving, Souldier! If she hates me so much, why doesn't she leave? I was here first!" she snapped, then wheeled around to Azzie. "It wouldn't be so stupid for me to live here. I could pick off wolves that come in injured, and I could--"

"Just stop, Sembla," Souldier interrupted. He ruffled his feathers and turned to Azreal. "You never know when you'll die. Don't get cocky just because you haven't yet. As for living here, Sembla doesn't really mean that."

"Hey! Of course I meant--" Sembla started to say, but a cold glare from Souldier quickly made her change what she was going to say. "--that I like this place. That's all I meant." She laughed a little uncomfortably. Then she noticed the change in scenery from the fumes of this place. It seemed quite real, although she knew one powerful gust of wind would just destroy the illusion.

"I don't like this," Souldier said. "We should leave."

"Oh, come on, Souldier! I wanna see what will happen next! Don't you? Aren't you the least bit curious?"

"I'm concerned that once the illusions pick up more, you won't be able to discern them from reality. You could seriously hurt yourself," Souldier answered.

"That's what makes it all the more exciting!" Sembla exclaimed. Souldier sighed.

"I still don't like this..." he grumbled.

"We'll stay!" Sembla chirped to Yarichu. "This is going to be so exciting!"

[Ladi Shad!]

Azrael looked again towards the white wolf. He was a more disirable companion to the idiotic one and her pet. He rememinded her somewhat of Eclipse. Perhaps a younger Eclipse, when his life didn't mean to kill? "I was not speaking to you. You seem too intelligent to do somethig so stupid, unlike this pup," She said, her golden eyes casting a proud glance at the sir nomad. She may have been younger in body, but obviously not in wit. "Pride is something that fools covet. You are obviously a fool," Azrael said to the air wolf. Too bad she couldn't take her own advice. Or is to desire after your own free will prideful?

She allowed her eyes to stay to the bird. "Bird, I will not -can not- die just yet. I still must fulfill my life's purpose. Thogh that alone my kill me," She said before turning to watch the scenery change into a beautiful feild of flowers. Momento Mori... something whispered into her mind. However, she ingored it, turning back to Yarichu. "I will stay," She simply said. Who knew, it may be a welcome escape for her reality.
