Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leon closed his eyes, "It dates back to when I was a lad. I was orphaned the day I was born, but I was adopted by an old man. He taught me to fight (for the world back then was terribly prejudiced against beastbloods). But he died when I was seven, and I wandered around on my own for five years until I met a half-neko, half-demon girl slightly older than I was. She told me of her human master who was looking for a boy like me to train. So I went to him, and he trained me. But as I was being trained, I also saw how he treated the girl who helped me. I killed him when I couldn't take it anymore. I killed him in cold blood...then the girl cared for me. We got married when we were older...for forty years we were together, but I got stupid...I slept with the Queen of Vallahad and she had twin children. My conscience wouldn't let me sleep and I told my wife...she left me, and I finalised the Divorce. The separation from the person I knew since I was young drove me mad. When the Queen's daughter was old enough I gave her the throne and left Arrius. I fell into darkness and killed many who I called friends...Those are the reasons I am condemned."

Leon kept himself attached to the body, "Well. Now that that is over, and I'm alive again..." He cast a transfiguration spell on his body, changing him to how he looked when he was young, "Leonardo is back. And he is pissed at a certain Patrick." Slowly, his body regained its strength, and he stood up to his full height.

"Well. I'm taller...but that matters not. To Vallahad!" A familiar darkness wrapped itself around him, and Leon winked from existence...

...he appeared behind Hiruga and put a hand on the projection's shoulder, instantly making the real Hiruga appear under his hand. "Atrius, lying is bad. Who said I was dead?" As he said this, he ran his other hand through his lavender hair as his tail swished lazily from side to side, "Hiruga, we need your help. Now lets get ourselves back to Arrius." Leon then turned to Perun and bowed deeply, "My lord, I would like to have the presence of the cleric when she is recovered. Also, your followers, as always, are invited to come to Arrius."

Leon opened a portal that led directly to the Senate building...
"In we go..."

Leon bowed and took the sword form Perun, "My Lord Perun, you will always be one of Arrius's Patron Deities." He thrust the sword into the air and channelled his spirit energies into it, changing it into a katana, "Gwaihir... I thank you, my Lord Perun." He spun around and drove the blade straight down the centre of the shrine, "In Arrian culture, when a shrine is split by a divine blade, victory is near." Now to our next order of business...

Raejib, Ixahrejem, and Atrius all waked through the portal, and Leon waited for Hiruga. "My demony spirit friend...you can...err...float through, right?"

Leon stood up and looked at Hiruga, "******** you, Hiruga. You're coming whether you want to or not. Remember your place in the Clan is below me. As long as my spirit is in the realm of the light, you will do as I say." He pointed his sword at the demon, "Or would you like to be tamed again?"

"You know I had never asked to join your clan," He says, forming a fist at his side, "And I-"

"My my, what IS going on here~?" A musical, loud voice suddenly rings out from the portal left opened by Leon, a dark cloaked figure steps forth and lands softly on his feet; his short, ruffled silver locks shimmer in the light flooding in from the open canopy above, and green eyes locked on the demon, chuckling lightly,

"So you've finally awoken from your slumber."

Hiruga glances over at the figure, eyes cold with a glare, "Who are you?"

The figure smirks, "Demons have no right to speak to me that way." Before Hiruga had a chance to react, the figure waves a hand toward him; the air around Hiruga suddenly chills, and a black orb swirls around his body. Hiruga yells out as his eyes grow a deep crimson, pain surging through him as he's forced to transform..

All thoughts vanish from his mind, leaving only blood lust..

The figure mutters an unknown spell in some odd language, placing both hands infront of him toward Hiruga; though unseen, strands of aura burst out from his palms and take hold of Hiruga, grabbing both limbs and ankles, and one around his waist.

Two small pearl fangs overlap Hiruga's lower lip, and sharp claws form from his nails. As the invisible strands wrap around him, the one around his waist splits off and jabs at his back, causing him to yell louder; a symbol burns into his skin, a circle with runes running along the inside of the ring and a large picture of an eye in the center. He falls silent.

The black flames wrapped around Hiruga's body churn, wavering as the strands of the figure's aura absorb them, running along to Hiruga's back and seeping into the diagram.

"Now my puppet!" The figure jerks his thumb; Hiruga stands upright, "Be at the ready!" He pulls his hands apart, still grasping the hidden threads, and jerks several fingers; Hiruga goes into a fighting stance, his expression blank as he stares in Leon's direction..

As Leon slams his shoulder into the figure, the strands of aura cut away from his fingers and disapates; Hiruga slumps forward with a dull thud, the rune still singed in his bare back.

The figure falls back onto his butt, scrambling away from the point of Leon's sword while still facing him, his expression contorted in fear, "N-No!" He suddenly disappears in a flurry of darkness, fleeing.
