.:Demons:.

[Sunny]

Jas was a bit surprised that the wolves heard her at all. Normally it doesn't work that way...but maybe the wolves were something more then just plain old beasts. She respected them a bit more for speaking. She was taken aback by how fast they responded to her. She glacned up as the wolves and twins came into the wall-thingy....or whatever it was. The young boy with Oko looked almost as bad as Tristan.

If you can translate Ata, to your...friend...then I can explain what happened. The Demon is gone...back to where it came from. Tristan...the slayer or whatever you call him, reached for too much power too fast. It was too much for him. He almost....well the demon is gone. The barrier is safe for the moment. But I think he is losing too much blood...I'm not a healer...I don't understand human bodies too well. Let's just say I'm worried. I don't know if he will be alright....

She glanced up from the pool of black blood that was forming along the half-angel's side. His eye flickered opened for a moment, but then he was gone again. His face was contorted in pain it was quite pale. He was too cold for Jas's liking. She looked at the boys...they seemed no worse for wear. Hopefully they didn't get too hurt by Tristan's blast. That worried her as well. He was supposed to keep that in check. His power, his demon power....Sighing heavily she laid her head on her paws. Not knowing what to do.

After a short game of Cerades, Poi, the thinker of the two, got the idea. So, looking over at Slayer, she decided it was his turn to do soemthing useful. Taking some seeds off the ground, he stared at them, trying to figure out what kind of seeds they were. He ahd ben taking this class because he was a plant dude, over what seeds could do. He ws having a hard time remembering- but he finally found a seed that might do the trick. He didn't quite remember the name of it- but he remmebred the shape, the thing he could see. He was a visual learner, and his brother, auditary. With his own photographic memory he matched the seeds to the abilites they carried. Looking at the seeds in his hand, he crouched over Slayer and tried to shove the seeds in his hands down the throat of his hero.

"C'mon, eat them! They wont kill you...just wake you up. C'mmon. Don't let me fail the first time I listen to a teacher...please..." Poi begged. He had obly cared so much about someone with his brother, who was also drifting over by the wall. He needed sleep. They all did. selecting diffrent seeds, he fed them to his brother, then came back to Slayer. He tried feeding him the seeds again. With his borhter slowly recovering as he layed on the belly of a curled up Oko. Sicne when did he become the medicine man?

"These two better wake up and heal fast or there will be hell to pay." Poi growled. he never remembered a day like this in his life.

[Sunny]

He couldn't discribe the pain that he felt. It felt like everything was broken, his muscles refused to move. His wing that was broken moments eariler was throbbing in pain again. The black firey orb that was so strong and large eariler was tiny and weak. He knew he asked to much of himself. He heard himself wheeze as he took a breathe. He felt the pain in his side greater, he try to move a hand to cover the gash so his demon blood woulndn't spill out. He didn't want the boys to know....if they were there and still alive. He wanted to punish himself for letting the power get away from him. But it felt so good to kill the demon to let the power go...to watch it destory...NO...stop...gods...he shouldn't be thinking these thoughts. It seemed that he was walking in darkness...with no light in sight. Then he felt something try and go down his throat. He protested....but then remembered it may be medcine to help the pain. He let it though, shallowing was hard...but he manage.
He waited for what seemed like eons, then his head began to clear his muscles relaxed. Though he was still bleeding...he felt a little better. He opened his eyes...forgetting for a moment that he only had one good one. Everything was blurry....he made out at least two face. Jas...and one of the twins? He could never remember who. He blinked long, trying to clear the blurry vision. He moved his hand and rubbed his eye. He tried to sit up, but his gash protested. He stifled a cry of pain, and bit his lip instead. He got himself up, one arm supporting his weight. The other holding the gash on his side, black blood still oozing.
Jas lifted her head, and almost cried out in happiness. Tristan gave her a look of reasureance. He was stil pale...but the pain was less. He still was still bleeding but the pain was less. "Gods in the heavens..." he muttered his voice cracked and rough as though he was thristly. "What the hell happened?"

[Kori]

"I don't know. Zen adn I were undeground the whole time to get out of the way. Soon after, Oko and Ata were dragging us out of the tunnel Zen made. Apprently they can hear your panther. We came out, and I gave you seeds. And, that's pretty much it. We're okay- Zen's tired but that's expected. He's the one that broght up the wall." Poi explained quickly. "But you need mroe rerst than the enitre lot of us. I don't know what that demon did to you, but you don't look so good. There is demon blood all over you. Your bleeding a bit too, but the demon blood keeps covering it up. Is there anything I can do?"

Ata took hold of his little master, adn gripping onto teh bottom off his shrit, he tore a good part of the bottom off, and then shook alost of teh dirt out of it into the other direction. Mostly shaken, eh hadnded it back to Poi. With the idea in mind, Poi began to tie the fabric against teh most obvious and deepest woond. Tearing his shrit more, shaking more, Poi had no shirt left seven gashes later.

"Are there any other really bad places, Slayer?"

[Sunny]

He didn't have the heart to tell him that it was his blood. He had demon blood...and demon blood is black. Angel is white.....though when you mess white and black you get a gray....Tristan had full-blown demon blood. His angel blood barely visible. He winced as the little boy placed the fabric over the gash. He soon saw blood filling it. Hopefully it would stop the blood loss quicker. He shook his head to the question the boy posed to him. There wasn't anything else that was too terrible. He didn't think the boy could fix a broken wing...it somehow unhealed itself...bah....stupid demon magic....
It was simple solution to the deep gash wound...he would need something more permanent though and soon. Demon flesh doesn't heal that well...so going to the healer's was out of the question...and he didn't think he could make it that far. He needed something...but what. Demon blood didn't respond well to plant medicines. That's why demons were so hard to wound...it's hard for them to heal. He winced as he breathed, the wound driving out more blood. He laid a hand over the quickly darkening clothe. "Demon flesh doesn't heal right...blood to thick...flesh not right." he muttered to Poi though the pain of the wound. He had to tell them if he was to survive the wound. Demon inflicted wounds were the worse. He remembered spending weeks in bed from his own father's claws. And those were half as bad. It was angel in him that made it worse. Angels couldn't stand being touched by a demon....his own body was working against him. His two halves battling.
Jas growled at Tristan, warning him about telling his secret. Shaking his head he continued. "Angel and demon can't stand each other....blood doesn't mix well....need something to stop bleeding....need a....angel feather....stops blood from escaping wound....heals demon wounds..."

[Kori]

"The only palce that would have any kind of feather would be back at school!" Poi thought quickly. "You don't seem like the one we could just run into teh school with, now are you? That would raise questions...but..."

He quickly turned to Zen. Calling his brotehr's name, the twin rose to his feet and blinked his eyes. Shaking off a bit of the wearyness, he stood up and got himself over to Slayer.

"What?"
"How far away are we from the school?"
"Mile and a half. If we ride fast on Oko and Ata, about fifteen minutes there, meaning a half-hour round trip on jsut traveling.. What does he need?"
"Angel Feather. Isn't there an angel girl in the North Girl's Sector somewhere?"
"Now that you mention her, yeah. I think her name is Kahlen. Yeah- I remember her clearly now. She walks around with a tiger."

Poi leaned over Slayer, and thought of asking his real name. He then declined. If they wre going to get in trouble by being with him, if they didn't know his real name, if might save them a bit of trouble. So, declining to ask, he turned to the golden panther instead.

"Can he ride on your back? If he can, that would be able to get the help to him in about half the time it would take to carry it to him."

[Sunny]

He can...but the going will he slow...he weighs almost as much as I do. Grab his sword...it is laying near a tree. That should make the load lighter. Ata...Oko...even with him on my back I will be moving fast....you must keep up with me. We must be fast he is losing quite a bit of blood.

to Poi and Zen she gave as human a nod as possible. Bending over Tristan she gave him a lick on the cheeck. He nodded. Not used to asking his friend for a ride. She would be moving terrible slow. It was eshuasted her. She flattened as much as she could, Tristan moved ever so slowly towards her. Almost passing out at one time. Climbing on to her back was a task. But he got on...even without the young boys help.

Hold on to my neck my dear. Use your knees to balance. The twins will ride at my side to watch you. Try not to slip.

Tristan grunted a reply. Using all his strength to keep from passing out. Jas growled to the boys to tell them they were ready to run. She heaved herself up. Surprisingly he barely weighed anything. His wings dragged the ground, but other then that, he wasn't too terribly heavy.

Try folding your wings...they will get in my way.

The wings moved. And soon were a top his back. Though one stuck out at an odd angle.

[Kori]

They twins were easily mounted, one swing doing the trick. This was a good thing, they realized, to practice for times like these. Oko on the right and Aka on the left, they began to ride. Aka swerved sot ht Poi, the more awake one of the two, could grab the sword. He could hold on with his knees so that his hands could hold the heavy sword better. The wolves were soon by the panther's side.

"Slayer, try to hold on with yoru knees more than you hands if you can. If something happens, holding on with yoru hands might only make matters worse. Your knees are the better bet. If you can remember that at a time like that, then you should be okay." Zen noted.

So they were ready to ride as fast at the three sets of four could carry them. THe panther was genearlly faster, but had a larger load, and it was jsut the opposite for teh wolves on either side. That would balence things out a little. The rides wouldn't be that long, so Zen figured that they could be in the school in about fifteen to twenty minutes at teh rate they were going at. What he wondered, was how three boys were going to get a girl's feather.

"Ready, Poi?"
"Yup. Ready Zen?"
"Always."

The wolves echoed the readyness of the two young riders, looking to the panther for the last checks. They were shielding either side of the Slayer, ready to rub up agianst in case he was slipping so that the boys could push him back on the panther's back.

Ata gave a hopeful look to the panther who he now respected fully. The same hope and respect was reflected in the eyes of Oko.

[Sunny]

[Kori]

((Yes, go ahead. Since Jas is pretty much leading, you get there first. But cut thsione short, then we can bsut in on Aidi and Kahlen.))

[Sunny]
