*(ooc) Long Post, sowwy >_<*<br/><br/>Reiku was facing away from all the action, but she knew what was happening. Part of her. for reasons she couldnt understand, was scared the -He- might be lost to her. As twisted as it sounded she relyed on him, he was her crutch when she was too weak to press on. heard footsteps approaching, they were heavy, that of a larger humanoid. She knew it was Arkain and felt bad she couldnt call to him. Part of her was worried the fact she couldnt reply would put Arkain off, thinking she was just being rude. She seethed she knew next to nothing of social intraction, and had no clue if that was likley or not.<br/><br/>Shadows rippled over the portal as whatever was behind it began to take on a more defined form. The beam of light hit the portal, causing its border to shudder, and alot of excess shadow was burned from it, rising like steam off the portal.<span style="color: red">"Kitsune...you really shouldnt claim to possess the power to 'subdue' me when you cant understand there are far darker magics than shadow. And I wield them all..."</span>the same voice that Reiku spoke in earlier came from inside the portal. The moment it ended, blue flames billowed from the portal, obstructing the light attack. The flames spread untill they covered a ten food radius, and rose twenty feet in the airit was unclear what was happening in the portal but gave off no heat or light, as it was totally engulfed in the flames.<span style="color: red">"Enough with the light show"</span>. The flames began to part, and finally the demons true form revealed itself. He stood thirteen feet tall, hunched forward at the shoulders, a muscular humanoid body, covered in pitch black scales that reflected no light. It had a long, think tail that tapered into a deadly looking scythe at the tip, from where it met his body to the end, it was over five feet long. It had very lanky arms that nearly scraped the ground, its hands were little more that three foot long claws, one of which was positioned where the thumb of a human would be. On its shoulders were long spines, four on each, pointing forward. It had a mane of the same blue flames that it had appeared in, sending small sparks ov fire off at odd angles where its mane nearly touched the ground. Its legs were always half bent as it stood, masking its true hight, each foot resembling a talon of a birt. Two long claws protruded from the front, and one from the back. Its head was human shaped, though larger in poportion than a regular humans head in relation to its own body. Its mouth area jutted out, as if it was going to be a snout, but stopped before it too inhuman. Its mouth was covered in a blood metal red place that went along its jawbone and under its chin and to its neck. If someone looked closely they could see the plate was split in the middle where its lips were, and the upper plate went around the side of its face to under where a humans ears would be, although it had none. Its nose was a pit, as if it had been ripped off, thought there was no evidence there ever was one there. Its eyes were sunken back in its head, and its trademark blue flames licked at the air above them, burning deep in its sockets. It opened its mouth a crack and let out a long breath. It turned to look at Arkain as he approached Reiku.<span style="color: red">"Lizard, take her and get to safety, I will follow once the kitsune submits to removing the shards in her body. This place is an embarrassment to one such as her, I will suffer no more violations of her body or mind"</span>He turned to the kitsune and stared him down, he didnt know how long this form could be sustained so he would have to finish this quickly, or force the Kitsune to submit. He spread his arms to the side, a gesture of extreme arrogance and addressed the latex Kitsune.<span style="color: red">"So we meet at last. Tell me, how can you, a mortal of magic, hope to do away with one such as me. Death itself has failed to see my end. However i need you to aid my...hostess...if you can perform this, I will spare your life"</span>He continued to stare at the Kitsune, focusing a great deal of power around him, invisible to all those but the most magicially attuned, ready to defend himself if the Kitsune dared to attack.
