Arkain stays with you when you lengthen the hold of our kiss. His tail moving up and holding you a bit closer. He kinda knew this kiss was going to have to last him for a while.<br/><br/>Arkain laughs loudly at your comment about the two Arkain's on top of you. "Yes, it would have been nice to have two of me to have fun with but unfortunately it just does work that way.  The two clones can be in the same area at the same time for a short period of time or they will be rejoined. If things are not just right when they are rejoined. The consequences can be pretty bad. That is why do this only under very very special circumstances.<br/><br/>He nods. "Yes, I agree. Your idea does sound like fun. Perhaps we can." He rubs your cheek with his hand.<br/><br/>He shakes his head. "Not really. I have a lot of respect for the power of ancient swords. In the hands of the right person, say like you, it can be quite a powerful weapon for good. I have seen them in action. "<br/><br/>He chuckles. "Perhaps not but I bet when you join with the sword you will find it know you were coming for it."<br/><br/>He stops and sees a small knife in your hand and start to cut your hand then your arm. "What in the world are you doing to yourself." He steps forward to stop you but you are moving too fast. You stops and watches you strangely intrigued at what you are doing.<br/><br/>Arkain shakes his head knowing you are doing this for him. It bothers him watching you cut yourself. "Nahh. Its OK. You can stop. I am sure I will have no problem finding Vega." He pauses looking down quickly at you putting your hand on his chest. His look becomes more concerned. "Ranmeyaku? Wait. Wait.! Isn't that the small creature that lives inside you? NO! Wait ! Stop! Don't do it! He's a part of you. I....."<br/><br/>Before he can say anymore he hears you quickly chant some words he can not understand. He freezes not sure what he should do. He doesn't know how to stop you. All he can do it let what you are doing happen.<br/><br/>When you say release, I can see the outline of the youkai slide through your skin and down your arm. He closes his eyes and gasps feeling the  youkai slide into his body and move about under his scales. It is a very odd, yet pleasing sensation feeling it move around.<br/><br/>He gasps when he sees you collapse to your knees. He grabs your arm to help hold you steady. He shakes his head and smiles when you give him a reassuring smile. He sighs shaking his head again holding his shoulder steady while you use it to help yourself up. "You know you didn't have to do that but I appreciate it. I promise to take good care of him."<br/><br/>He stands there watching you gather up your stuff and put them around your waist move over to the small metal plate. He wants to run up and give you another hug but he can't. He is having enough trouble keeping his composure. Instead he stands tall with a confident look on face letting the words, your going to see him again, run over and over again through his thoughts to give him strength. He has no reason to doubt he will not see Marcus again. He just wishes he didn't have to leave.<br/><br/>He smiles seeing Marcus bow to him. He bows back deeply keeping his eyes locked on yours. "Till we meet again, my friend."<br/><br/>Arkain keeps his eyes on you till he feels a violent wind pick up. He puts his arm up shielding his eyes wanting to watch what was happening. He squints his eyes watching a column of light rise up the disk enveloping your body. He suddenly feels a tremendous wave of heat shoot outward forcing him to turn away  from the disk. When he feels the heat dissipate, he turns back to only see the disk glowing white hot in the sand. He steps forward shaking his head looking how the heat melted the sand to glass.<br/><br/>He looks over at Zearo letting out a chuckle. "Now that was one heck of an exit. Are you OK, Zearo?" He stands there for a minute scanning around the watering hole sorta hoping to see Marcus come flying in but he knows that will not happen. He knows he needs to get going on his journey to find Vega, if he wants to see Marcus again. He can feel a few tears slide down his sandy cheeks. He quickly wipes his face then turns and puts his hand on Zearo's shoulder and rubs it gently. "Zearo, I need to ask a favor of you. There is something important I have to do."<br/><br/>((*Sighs sadly*  I too hated to see this part of the end. This was one of the best RP's I have done in this Watering Hole RP. It does make me very happy to hear so many enjoyed reading our RP. I am looking forward to continued our adventures with you Vega in our private RP. I am also looking forward to the opportunity of doing other interesting RP's in the Watering Hole.<img alt=":-D" src="./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy"/><br/><br/>And thank you Vega for such a fun RP. It was a great ending for this part of a great RP.)<img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/>
