Sojo blinked and then heard a name he recognized. The look in his eyes went from confusion and lostness to recognition. "Thats me. It must be me. I recognize the name." he says. Sounding awed and excited. Hopeful even. He looked at her. "I think so. I can't remember. I can barely remember anything." His hand touched hers and he took it. Images racing before his eyes. A look of sorrow hit his face and eyes. "They made me miss it. When they sent me hurtling into their realm..." that is what he says after standing up. He looks at her. Shaking his head. "Your Ria. Your the girl in the memories that I remember. The girl who is the only thing I remember. The reason I kept fighting to escape from hell. I don't remember much about myself. I just know that I had to escape to come back to Rea. So much happened but I can't remember why I was gone. Maybe the wrapped gift in my pocket is a clue."<br/><br/>He sighs a bit. Holding her hand still. Fingers interlacing on instinct rather than actual thought out action. He looks at her. "I failed you. I didn't mean to but I did. They wanted me to fail. They wanted to keep me in that inferno firey prison. That was their plan. I can't remember why though. Why would they want to keep someone there? I was just a man right? I wasn't anything special...was I? I just..." He holds his head with the free hand. "I just can't remember. No matter how hard I try...I can remember." His head shot up in the direction of the sound. Suddenly, as if on instinctive impulse. He spun her around so she was in his chest. Arms wrapped around her while an orb of white holy energy surrounded them. Seconds later and explosion riveted the air.<br/><br/>He lowered the orb and turned. Holding her behind him his hand instinctively shot out to his side. Those beautiful wings peeled off of his back. Extending as black outlines line a tattoo. Gaining color and silky feathers. Turning into the wings she would know so well.  In his hand appears a sword of holy energy. "It is beings like those who tried to keep me inside the firey inferno prison." He watched three demons head his way. His feathered wings flapping a bit. His tone changed to a tone she had only heard a couple of times when he protected her from harm before. "I will let nothing happen to you." His voice still sexy yet a bit deeper than his normal one. It resonated power.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">The demons smirk and walk forward. "Lookie here boys. We found ourselves a purity boy. Lets take him in after having some fun." He indicates for them to go attack. "Disperse with the girl while your at it." The one who came from the side suddenly erupted with holy spikes appearing throughout his entire form. "Your strong angel boy. I'll give you that. We'll still win." He smirks and raises his dark sword. "If you finish my men than I'll take you on personally.</span><br/><br/>Sojo blinks a bit. "Angel boy? What are you talking about? Well whatever. I will not let you harm her. I will deal with all of you personally." he says in a strong and powerful voice. His free hand lashed out and made the spikes of holiness appear and shatter the demon who tried to hurt Maria into dark dust before incinerating the dust. He moved as the demons attacked. Striking them. Moving with a flurry of movements. Sword flying through the demons almost too fast to see. Wings shielding him whenever an orb of unholy magic was launched at him. Soon it was down to just the leader and him. Then the sword fight began. *CLASH* *CLANG* *HISSSSSSS* *CLASH* The sounds of their fight rang out over their area. He soon ran the demon through.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Damn...you were stronger than...the others." He says before exploding into dark wisps of smoke.</span><br/><br/>Sojo's wings lost their color. They began to fold up and melt back into his skin. Becoming the tattoos once more. He walked over to her. "Now lets go wherever you want to take us. Before more show up." He says. His voice back to its normal gentle. He looks at her though with a puzzled look. "Angel? Guardian angel? Archangel? That being of the darkness kept hissing such strange things to me. I don't understand them." He held her hand again. A sad smiled on his lips. He pulls out the wrapped gift. "I went and got this for you. I just remember it has the ability to protect you from evil. I think I was heading back when something sent me to the firey inferno. I don't remember so much. The only memories I have involve you." He says honestly.<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz260/TimeKeys/Anklet%20and%20Circlet/5-moonstone-bracelet200-1.jpg">[ img ]</a>
