(Andraus)<br/><br/>Zion would look up at Lunelra, that rage burning like a fire, as he spoke up. "<i><b>Nin orta-va lithui erin-o thas gwerian!" </b></i>Zion hissed at her, in her own native language, before taking his elbow and striking her in the gut. Zion would raise his head, before biting into Lunelra's Arm, trying to draw blood, before getting slammed into the ground. Zion would start to growl, slamming his fist down, as he stood back up. He saw his sword in the ground, before reaching down and picking up a handful of dirt. He rubbed it into his hands- It was a trick she taught him. Hands sweat, and that lack of grip could kill you in combat, so the dirt added traction for better grip. Most people preferred Sand, but beggars couldn't be choosers in the heat of battle.<br/><br/>Zion would then see a rat, before running away from Lunelra's counter attack, knowing that Lunelra had the speed advantage, before grabbing the creature. Using life drain, the rat turned into a withered husk, as Zion would crush it in his grasp. His wounds healed and energy returned to him, as he would raise his hand,<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fimg00.deviantart.net%2Fda3c%2Fi%2F2012%2F194%2Fc%2F7%2Fmagic_circle_1_by_ukyuu-d572tzd.png&amp;hash=69286242d3ccd00b7f009ca5b32825a6" href="https://img00.deviantart.net/da3c/i/2012/194/c/7/magic_circle_1_by_ukyuu-d572tzd.png" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">black magic </a>symbols appearing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`</i><br/><br/>The trip to the Court was....different today. The Path that Azurine normally walked, which passed through one of the Gardens, was absent of passerby's. It was not unclear why- There was a VERY subtle barrier surrounding the place. However, it was not preventing them from entering, the design was much more clever- It was leaving those that passed by a mental suggestion that they had business<i>elsewhere. </i>Much less noticeable, but much harder to do.

Though it was covered by a mask, his smile seemed to.....ward away negativity. Not Darkness or Light, but just negativity and bad feelings.<br/><br/>Looking up, The male would blink as he saw Azurine, before politely waving. "<b>Hello." </b>He said. Like his instrument, his voice was lyrical, as if it was in complete harmonic with the world around him. "<b>It has been such a long time since someone of strong mind has managed to pass into my Barriers....But it is always nice to have company." </b>He said. His cat, the white hair and blue eyed creature on his shoulder, hissed at Azurine's presence, but the male would hold up a finger, and the creature would relax.<br/><br/>"<b>Ignore Haru, my...familiar, he is always very protective of me....I had a name a long time ago, but I go by '<i>The Exile' </i>now. I was just playing my Guitar for my friends, this Garden is rather lovely." </b>He said, looking over towards the machine. The smallest one would wave at Azurine. "<b>Tell me, what is your name, child?" </b>He asked, politely.<br/><br/>There not a single thing threatening about the male, and yet....he managed to bypass Maddox's Barriers, Azurine's Barriers, and was currently standing in the middle of the Dark Lord Territory without him being any wiser. What's more, technology that made those machines did NOT exist anymore. The knowledge on how to make Sentient Golem's was lost when the first Kingdoms of the Dwarves began to fall. What's more- Azurine would not be able to get a feel on him. It was as if he was not really there.<br/><br/>How did he make these!? Who was he?!
