It seemed like another day. Silence, pure silence, aside from the many birds singing their tune. However, Akira, the young boy who grew up around Neo Kyoto seemed to be thinking different from around here. He rubbed the side of his arm, which where covered by scars from past fights. Giving a quick glance at the sky, Akira felt a bit uneasy about something.

"Weird dreams. Th' same weird dreams..." He said in his tone.

Rubbing the side of his cheek, Akira let out a soft groan. He was a mess. Recently getting himself out from a jam, the male found himself awoken in a rather secluded area. A rather large and dense forest area.

"Where am I anyway?"

He sat up as he took a glance at his hands. His hands, stained blood. His or someone else's? This was too freaky.

"I shouldn't be thinkin' about this too hard. It's nothin'. Maybe I just punched a tree and caused my hands to get this way."

Placing a hand on the trunk of a tree, Akira gave a rather short huff. His side ached. Though. This moment of peace seemed to be cut short. something or someone was near. Placing his index and middle finger to scar on his forehead, the bruiser made an attempt to pinpoint where it was at and what it could be.

"Defiantly not human... is it a demon? Remnants of Oersted?"

Standing there was not a good idea. Something was coming and from behind. Giving a quick turn, Akira came to face with a shadowy type demon. With his forehead scar emitting a light blue hue.

"Most demons are weak to fire... so..." He would close his eyes for a moment. Opening them, he waved his right arm.

"Fiery flames of hell. Flame Image, Activate!"

Soon, the scarred teenager was surrounded by a circle of flames. giving another hand motion, he flicked his wrist, sending the flames to engulf the demonic entity that was coming towards him.

Soon, the demon was incinerated. Giving a heavy huff, Akira did realise he may not be alone. What could he do? Run? Or endure more coming h is way?

"Not bad" A voice said from the dense forest, it was like a distant echo yet clear "Demons and angels, monsters and people, they're all the same don't you think?" The voice seemed to be coming closer "One has the need to do acts that angels and humans call evil, if not, demonic. The other is a servant of god, if they do exist, they're white knights, guardians of heaven" The voice now closer, came from all around him "The last two are more the same, monsters and humans. Both have it in them to kill, both can show corruption and greed. So what's the difference?" The voice now came from a singular location, a nearby tree. The branches and leaves rustled for a few seconds before out lept a man.

"Yo" he said brushing his shirt "Seemed like a party over 'ere, mind if i join?" He smiled as the shadow demon dissipated. The dark clouds the shadow demon turned into slowly flowed towards the man and disappeared behind him. For a split second the irises in his eyes glowed a dark blue. "Yum" Castiel said as his smile became sinister. A black smoke came from his right hand and formed into a claymore. Castiel held onto it like it was a feather. "I love to play"

A single Raven flew over where Castiel and Akira were, cawing loudly as it landed on a near by branch. Two more ravens followed soon after, landing on the branches near the first crow. Soon a murder of Ravens would cover nearly every branch around Castiel and Akira, all of which were cawing loudly as if something sinister was coming their way. Suddenly the crews grew eerily silent and a thick fog slowly manifested itself around the two beings below. The Fog grew thicker and thicker and with it came the soft echo of a funeral bell knelling. The Knelling grew louder and louder as the Fog grew thicker. The air around them grew cold, a ghostly disembodied feminine voice then spoke. "Fear not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me!".

Suddenly a single black mass formed on the ground in the middle of the Castiel and Akira where the fog was thickest. Slowly the black mass formed into a large blob of darkness. It looked as if someone was huddling within the mass. The Ravens started to caw again and the fog was quickly absorbed into the black mass. Dozens of black tentacles came out from the back of the mass as the darkness started to drip from the being under it. The being quickly arose to revile itself. A pale woman with a long black dress, glowing white eyes and short black hair emerged from the black blob, she was floating and the puddle of darkness that was once all over her was now at her feet in a circle, and from the circle were many black hands reaching from the ground. It was the Living Embodiment of Darkness, the Bearer of the worlds Sorrow and the Benevolent Death. A myth, a legend a fairy tale. It was Vivika.

With a cold glare she looked towards Castiel.

"My my, what have we here? I feel a great source of dark power emanating from you my dear."

She then turned to look at Akira.

"And you, you are gifted with psychic ability. And judging by how you dispatched of that demon, you seem to be aligned with the light. Let us hope for your sake, that you continue to keep that alignment."

Vivika turns again to look at Castiel, giving him the same cold glare.

It would seem that he was not the only one who had sensed this disturbance. A dangerous unclean spirit had met its end just now, and the power this mortal displayed was enough to attract the attention of no less than the one for whom the bell tolls, Vivika.

Eliya hid within the fog that she made around her and used it to conceal himself. Must to his surprise, there was now a second powerful mortal present. Still, Eliya had his orders. He was to observe the one named Akira. The presence of Vivika frightened him, though as any involvement of such a powerful being naturally would, whether she was an ally to his master or not. Eliya was sure that he was more powerful than the demon Akira had killed, but would he be able to stand up Akira himself should the need arise?

He stayed silent. Surely Vivika already knew of his presence by now, and he did not know if his skills of concealment were high enough to hide himself from the two mortals. Only time would tell.

Vivika continued to glare at Castiel yet she already know of Eliya's presence.

"Eliya, come out from hiding dear, for I at least mean you no hard. I do have my doubts about this one however."

She says as she points to Castiel, prepared for any attack that might come her way from him.

"Give this lady a trophy! she can tell the obvious!" Castiel chuckled, he gripped the blade tight "hey ol' lady, can you take your wrinkly ass somewhere else, there's an old people's home like down the block, check ya'self in and go paint pictures or something. I wanna paint with that dude's blood" He pointed at Akira

"Unless you wanna dance too, I don't mind a threesome" He stabbed his clay more into the ground to stand it upright then shrugged "Since you look so ancient though i bet a slightest touch might set you off..." He smiled devilishly making fun out of her not caring about who she might be

Vivika smiles and laughs off Castiels comments. "Well well, this one can quip a witticism, how utterly classy. Although, your vernacular leaves much to be desired." Vivika then looks Castiel dead in his eyes, smirking. Knowing that the battle to come will be a good one. She extends out her arms and opens herself up for an attack from Castiel hoping that he does something to provoke her.

"Well then, give me your slightest touch." Vivika says with a devious tone and smile.

|Oh dear! Some replies! ;w; *scurries off and pushes Akira muse to reply*

Staring at his hands and then back at some... people before him? A calm grin came across his face. More like the shit eating grin he normally had. Rubbing the back of his head with his hand, a rather nervous laugh escaped his lips. Closing his amber coloured eyes, he huffed a rather small sigh. Dropping his hand down and putting both in his pants pockets, the young bruiser opened his amber coloured eyes.

"Y'know. We are all here. Y'know. Kinda like one of those JRPGS or somethin' like that?"

HE gave a rather light shrug and placed his hands behind his head. Turning to face Vivika his expression seemed rather cheerful.

"Hey Hey! No need t'worry, yo. Imma good. Despite Imma covered in scars n' so on. Most of my powers is for defence only, yo!"

Dropping his hands once more at his sides, he could sense something. Putting his middle and index finger on his cross shaped scar on his forehead. He could foresee something. Something was near and coming. What though?

"Hey Hey. Y'know, We should exchange our names n' then brace ourselves. 'Cause somethin' is nearing our way, yo!"

Castiel's mouth opened slightly at the dude behind the old lady... what did he say? "Wh-What?" Castiel was confused more than anything "Are you 'avin a stroke? Don't die before th'fight, it's no fun that way"

Castiel turned his attention to the lady, smirking at her nonchalance "oooh, I love it when they're easy, and ditsy but, imma take a wild guess and say you ain't as stupid as you look with all that black make up" Sliding his left hand into his pocket he popped his neck then pointed lazily upwards with his right hand "Let's 'ope you ain't got arthritis in ya ol' lady cuz you might wanna move" as he spoke the Shing sound of a falling blade cut through the air above her.

The blade that was once besides Castiel now fell dead above Viv

Vivika raised an eyebrow in suspicion at what Castiel just did before ageing progressively in front of Castiel's own eyes. In and instant a cold and gentle breeze brushed through Castiel as the old Vivika quickly turned into dust. A presence completely surrounded Castiel yet nothing was there, just the now empty space between Castiel, Eliya and Akira.

Without a single noise Vivika arose from a shadowey black puddle behind the feet of Castiel and was floating stealthy above him. The dust of the old Vivika was still before Cas in a decent sized pile. Vivika then spoke gently into Castiels right ear.
"You got me!" She then floated right through Castiel and back to her former position. The dust disappeared and warped above Castiel's head. Vivika laughed deviously and playfully, mocking Castiel as the dust fell onto him. Vivika glared at Castiel once again. "My dear, you are dreadfully dumb. You have absolutely no chance of winning a fight against me. Have you not the ability to sense the near infinite amount of power emanating from me?"

Eliya zipped out of the path of the sword.

"EEK!" He covered his mouth. Had he been detected already? No. They seemed to be swiping at Vivika. Oh. What was a relief. Yes, these mortals may be powerful, but they stood no chance of harming the One for Whom the Bell Tolls. Nevertheless, he would need to be careful with all of these whirling blades, just in case these could actually harm him in his ethereal state.

(More than 5 my attack hits, less than 5 it doesn't. Do this for every fight scene to prevent god moding)

As soon as the dust landed on him he moved so fast it kinda stayed in place, floating for a quick second before disappearing as it fell "you can't trick a Nogitsune". The claymore that now jutted out from the ground was a few feet from Vivika. Castiel flipped a few CM above the hilt of his claymore before grabbing it so that the butt of the hilt was pointed outwards. He aimed that blunt end right for her stomach as he reappeared in front of her in almost a flash.

|Hey. I will reply to this tomorrow if that is fine, yo.|

(...DontBeTrippin, in free rp fights one of the generally accepted rules is no godmodding, otherwise, I don't do rp fights with any dice. Not to be mean or spoil the fun. If we were playing D&D it would make more sense, but for free rp...not really.)

(Well i don't wanna god mod, i tend to keep my limits but i just didn't want it to seem like i was, react to how you would then haha )

(It is all good and thanks for understanding.)

The blund end of Castiel's claymore connected and hit Vivika's stomach with incredible force, causing Vivika to hunch over. Yet, Vivika laughed at Castiel as she turned into a ghostly wisp and vanished, only to appear a few feet in front of him instantly. The dust that dispersed after falling on Castiel quickly reformed into a black spike which was aiming for Castiel's head. Vivika looked at Castiel, smiled and waved before gesturing with her right index finger that he ought to turn around. "Careful my dear, this might sting a bit." Vivika said playfully as the black spike hurdled towards Castiel at a speed faster than light. However, the spike stopped just shy of piercing the back of Castiel's head and it disappeared only to form under Castiel.

Vivika laughed again at Castiel, although with each laugh a slight amount of pain could be felt by Vivika. After all, she is only human...but with divinely gifted powers.

"Castiel." she said with a smile, taunting him with the knowledge of his name. "Are you truly aware of who I am and what I am capable of? Do you honestly think that as a Nogitsune, you cannot be tricked? My dear, you most certainly are clueless, aren't you?"

The crows around everyone start to caw again, the funeral bell starts to knell once more. Vivika floats towards Castiel furiously and fast turning into a black mass the closer she got to him. With her right fist clenched and the darkness around her enhancing her powers slightly she aimed for Castiels stomach attempting to hit him with enhanced and incredible force. This would be difficult to get out of seeing that this attack was seemingly on par with Castiels speed.

"Enough!" Eliya could not stand back anymore. He reverted to his physical form and transformed each of his wings into tall shields stopping whatever attacks each side sent to the other. "We are not enemies! Yes, something is coming our way, but we have no reason to be fighting each other!" He looked over at the wing-shield that had stopped Vivika's attack. As it turned out, her fist had actually broken the shield, which now dangled in two pieces at his side. "Oh boy. This is why I'm a speed specialist."
