Siren looked between Pyros and the headmaster for a moment, when she felt a strange feeling within her head. Her eyes widened in fear as she tried to determine whether it was the same feeling as before, when her body had been taken over. She had thought she would be safe within the school's walls. Within moments, the voice which had emanated from Kyern's body earlier spoke within her mind. He explained what was happening and then began to defend the innocence of her magic. She listened, her body becoming completely still, her eyes unfocused, and then before she was aware, it was over and the voice was gone. He had told her not to let the headmaster tell her it must be controlled, that the magic would be less. He'd mentioned killing her enemies, but that wasn't in the least attractive to her. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to talk to Pyros about it, but Chaos had also told her not to tell anyone of his words. She closed her eyes , lowering her head as she thought. The headmaster still had not spoken to her of what she had told him.

Vergo had returned to the academy and sorted through the cases. Makeing sure each item was well kept and ready to be handed out when the time came. Putting them back in the cases he put them back in his vest and waited to be called in. Knowing that he would be the one to help train Pyros while the headmaster trained the two women. He watched Chaos once he had returned with regaurd, not trusting him much in any reason. He could feel he was doing something but knowing this person to be much older and experienced than himself he couldn't tell what.
-NPC-
He nods and smiles. Listening well to what each person had to say. He took in a breath and spoke. " Pyros, you will train with Vergo to expand your skill and learn to harness that lust from the weapons in times of need. Siren, you and Dewdrop will be instructed by myself while you train against each other. Siren.....to fear your power is to deprive yourself of protecting those you love. I will try and teach you to control not your emotions, but control the power when it comes out. Emotions are the key to any great magic or power. Dark or Light makes no difference. Dewdrop you are well skilled because of your training to be a gaurdian but you lack the heart to keep fighting. This needs to change and you still have to speak on why you seek your goal or what your goal is. "

Glancing over her shoulder, she felt the presents of Vergo and Chaos returning. Her face turned back towards the headmaster as he addressed her. What was her reason for being here? She had never thought about it. The only thing she knew is she had been instructed to come here, to help on a quest for the very existence of life in warriors crater. However, deep down she also knew she wished to become stronger. There was something in her past that drove her to be here. "My purpose for being here? Well...I was instructed to do so...for I am all that is left of the Holylight kingdom. As you must already know..." This was not entirely true, for her brother still lived on. His fate she was still not sure about. The last image she could remember of him was from many years ago. There was fire all around her and there he stood in front of her. Black wings flowing from his back. A look on his face like none she had ever seen before. As her mind wandered to the past, she had not realized how long she had been standing there looking at the ground. Fighting was all she had left of her once glorious people. There was nothing left for her.

chaos rolled his eyes. It always seems that this family of demonic rejects always seems to contradict whatever he seemed to be doing. First the spoiled little brat VErgo, then the arrogant toy shop clerk and even know the stuck up master seemed to be aganest him. At this moment all of his words spoken to Siren were kinda rendered pointless as he would be doing the training of this power. He had no allies within this group for there seemed to be this hostility towards him. Towards him and this body. Flipping through Kyerns memories he could count many times this demon family had acted superior to their superors. Vergo thinking he was better than Kyern. The demon king and queen acting like they were stronger then Kyern when he could have wiped the floor with their hair. They all acted like peasants thinking their better than the king. Fools will learn their lesson later he thought to himself. Now for a little company.
chaos walked into a seperate room and locked the door. He summoned a magical shield that would prevent peeping toms at the door from hearing ANY WORDS spoken in the room, and from little unwanted eyes seeing what was happening in the room. A little extra pazaz was the magic that prevented this shield from BEING DETECTED so NO ONE would know what was going on in this room. Taking out a piece of chalk he drew a summoners cirlce on the carpet and chanted out a few words. "...... SUMMON" he said as he said the last words. The chalk didn't let out any bright colors or anything but it did seem to melt away and out of the hole came out his personal servant. No one would suspect the plot that was devoloping but he had been planning out his moves for a long time and so far the idiots had been doing exactly what he wanted them to do. Looking back out his servant he smiled. Her red dress was covered in frills at the bottom, and her blonde hair had a nice red beret on it. No one would have suspected this little girl was a vampire for she had the ability of stun which in simple words was the ability to make others unaware of her true form, especially those that were paid to seek her kind out. "So Niera, hows things been going?"

The headmaster turned to Siren and asked her what brought upon her loss of control, The room changed back into a more comfortable setting and he asked to know what each of their backgrounds, abilities and goals were, stating that he knew what his grandsons were already. Siren began explaining that it was an effect on her when she couldn't control her anger, Pyros had heard this story many times, but it always gave him more of an insight into her every time he heard it. She said that it was most often when someone she loved was threatened and an enemy used them against her. Pyros looked down at the ground, 'That seems to happen alot when she is with me...' He thought to himself as a servant stood next to him and presented him with water, he took it and nodded as the servant left. Pyros took a sip of the water and watched Siren sit down, his eyes glanced over to Dewdrop, she was clenching a necklace with her hand, She has been doing that alot and Pyros was curious about what it represented.
Pyros heard the headmaster speak his name, he continued to explain that he would be training with Vergo on controllin his blood lust when he was using a weapon, Pyros had never really wanted to learn how to control it, but if that would eventually help in defending himself and Siren from this Darklight that was after them, then he would learn it. He went on to say that he would train Dewdrop and Siren, teaching them to control their powers and use their emotions to their advantage, he said that light or dark magic didn't make a difference. Pyros wondered how Siren was going to react, previously, anyone that mentioned trying to use her power or control it she would disregard, she hated people that wanted to use her power and told her it was a great weapon, but she seemed to hold this headmaster in high regards, how was she going to react to this?
Dewdrop replied to the headmasters question, she said that she was instructed to come to darklight as she was all that was left of the Holylight Kingdom. Pyros was shocked when he heard the words, 'Another kingdom? And she is all that is left of it?' Pyros questioned to himself, finding it hard to grasp it, how was it possible that all these kingdoms were unknown to the Silver Viper Kingdom? They had traveled all over Warriors Crater and had vast knowledge of all the land, yet these two kingdoms were never once mentioned. 'Could it be that Silver Viper doesn't want us to know about these demonic realms?' Pyros wondered, he was sure that they would have come across them before, or atleast seen one of these demons and investigated it. Dewdrop was staring at the ground, she seemed to be in deep thought, maybe she was having visions and memories of when her kingdom was being destroyed, Pyros really didn't know, perhaps the kingdom was destroyed millenniums before and she was thinking about something else.

NPC
Niera looked up from the floor and at her ..... master. "So chaos how's it going? do anything ...... new?" looking out at the man in front of her she was kinda amazed that it was Kyern. Although she knew it couldn't be because everyone she had met at the tavern thought she was dead.
"Yes actually I have gained the pitiful trust of our targets, they even believe that tale i spunned up about Darklight. I mean imagine what fools, wiat till they see that this Darklight creature that we made sound so horrible turns out to be one of the lowest level imps I have ever seen. Even a baby could take out that thing but like fish to bait they've all fallen for it."
Niera nodded. "Actually the changes I was talking about were more... Physical." And chaos scanned over his body and she rolled her eyes as the little light wen't on in his head. "Oh this body, I took control of it and hid away the owners soul."
Niera nodded. "I seem to recall thats the body of the guy I had to brain wash wasn't it?" chaos looked at her and smiled "YEs, yes it was"
Niera then wen't over their plan in her head. The plan was all set in motion when Niera found Siren. She could feel the power emitting from her (Any Vampire would have) and soon she had contacted chaos's remaining essence. Leading this little group was all too easy with the promise all Lord chaos's lost goodies (which are still real) and leading htem on the goose chase to Darklight. They had even calcualted Vergo's appearance for which demon wouldn't have sensed Sirens power. Of course Niera had to play the "death role" and after that drama was over assumed her position as the black sheep. Before she had played the death scence though she had slipped in a little axtra something in all of their food making them all more bound to be controlled by chaos's shadow control (hence why Siren and Kyern were attacked by this force and Dew drop was barely scratched ;D) Before entering Darklight Niera prevented Kyern from entering Darklight, did a little brain washing and before you would know it he was spinning their tale about this Darklight She demon. Now they were at the stage of their plan where they would all be preparing for battle and well the rest still had to be set in motion.
"So Sire do you want to go ahead with the next stage of the plan? or should we wait a little longer?"
chaos looked at her and smiled "Well that imp should be using its ability now, the Magmafier. We will make are move once they sense it."
Niera knodded Remembering that this ability enabled low level demons to give off huge amounts of energy making them seem like higher level demons. This would make it seem like a huge demon was coming and it would aslo inable the fact that This Demon Twerps wouldn't suspect anything by sensing a low level imp. Now THEY WOULD ALL BE FOOLED AND NOT ONE, NO MATTER HOW STRONG WOULD SUSPECT ANYTHING!
"Excelent decision Master"
With a flick of his wrist Niera was dismissed and she revanished into the summoners circle. The last thing she saw was chaos walking out of the room.

Siren remained silent as she listened to the plans. The headmaster had said that they wanted to teach her how to use her magic more effectively. Though she thought it might be helpful, the entire idea terrified her. She didn't like the power the magic posessed when she was angry, and neither the headmaster nor Chaos had said anything appealing to her about it. Its not a curse.... she thought, recalling Chaos' words to her. She peered with worry at the ground for a moment before turning her eyes up to Pyros. Did the look on his face portray that he was upset about something, or was he still worried about the Darklight creature? The only way she could find out would be to ask, but he was still touchy about his privacy. She didn't need to know everything that was on his mind... even if it would make her feel better to know. She turned her head away, looking at the walls, and the floor and everything else that surrounded them. Their confines were beginning to get to her, and she could feel her pulse quickening. "I..I would like to get some fresh air, if that is possible?" she said, looking up at the headmaster. Perhaps his idea to help her with her magic was not a bad one, but she still could not think of it as good. It meant that she might hurt someone. She swallowed and looked over at Pyros again, worry evident in her face.

The visions soon faded within her head as she slowly looked up to the group around her. They all seemed worried int he own ways. However, the look on Sirens face made her forget her own past and focus on the here and now. She walked towards Siren and placed a hand on her shoulder whispering, "Everything shall be okay...I am sure. Together we shall be strong." though these words came from her very lips, she was not sure if they held true. A smile had followed those words and remained for a few moments. While in her mind, the idea that they had to work together was a nice one, but could they really hold the strength to defeat such an evil that looked within Darklight. "Air would be a wonderful thing..." she spoke softly as her head glanced to the side, seeing Lord Chaos in Kyerns body, coming from the room he had gone into. Something did not seem right about him. Though there was no indication that he was up to anything. Her gut told her other wise. The amulet around her neck pulsed lightly. No one else could see that this had happened. her hand reached up gripping the amulet. Perhaps she was judging him like the others had done. In the back of her mind she thought, 'I shall keep an eye on you.' Turning back towards the others, her arms folded in front of her as she waited to see what their next move was. Hoping the headmaster would leave her alone about her reasonings for being here. Though this was her first time here, it did not seem as though it truly was her first time. Lost memories wanted to be remembered, but could not be.

He entered the room after they had spoken their answeres and nods to the headmaster. " Everything weapon, armor and item wise is in order grandfather. " He stoped as the room changed once more. The group with the exception of Chaos soon found themselves in a vast feild surrounded by the oddest of forests. " When you are ready, so am I. We need to do this in the chambered climate to accelerate the training. "
-NPC-
He nods and smiled as he triggered the change of the room. " Fresh air it is then. I may be able to teach you much on on what i know, but the rest is up to you and others. Where i am the eldest in this realm i am still far from being the greatest at what i do. Now the stones you were given are markers. When training has come to the point your markers turn pure silver its time to leave for there is nothing more to be learned from me. " He turned lightly and sighed softly hearing what Dewdrop said. He bowed his head lightly and felt by accident what Pyros thought and shook his head. " Pyros...i'm sorry for feeling your thoughts, but i couldn't help it when Dewdrop mentioned Holylight. There was a time when the kingdomes were formed that heaven and hell exsisted in seperate kingdomes and were constantly at war. Sometime after i left the throne due to.....certain cirmumstances Holylight and Darkness were locked in the last great demon and angel war. Holylight lost its royal family and soon after...my youngest son made the suggestion that the two become one new kingdom. That is how Darklight came into being. The mortal world doesn't know of this because we choose not to let it be known. You and Siren are the only mortals to be allowed to enter alive. "
He sighed looking down remembering that during that war was when he lost his life....and a century later was brought back to help save his son and daughter in law. He smiled gently and motioned Vergo to begin once Pyros was ready, and motioned that when Dewdrop and Siren were ready they would begin as well.

chaos soon joined the outside frolickers as the master forgave Pyros for his "accidental" mind reading and then offering the explaination for whatever was on Pyro's mind that confuaed him.
True there was a war between demons and angels but it was hardly decided upon by this guys youngest son to join the too kingdoms. The whole quarrel was solved when the goddess of life came down and forced both sides into one kingdom under a banner of peace. Frankly because this guys youngest son went on both knees and begged her to do it. If it hadn't been for her the demons would have taken over holylight and darkness would have taken over the plain of entities banishing all angels too the plain of mortality. (the seven plains of spirituality explained at the toy shop area)
Oh well at least there was both a demon and an angel on the throne for however long that was. Sitting down aganest a oak tree he observed the training going on between master and student. Mainly focusing on Siren for he was curious how she would take the training. He knew from past expierence that the power she had could easilt take over her body if she didn't control it well enough. And that power would create a split personality. Leaving all of her goodness in one personality and all of her darkness in the other. And of course her darkness would love to use her power more than the good side would.
Or maybe Siren was strong enough to avoid the split personality problem altogether. Either way chaos was sorta hoping that she's get that split personality, he was surely interested in meeting her dark side for sure.
Looking at Pyro's he noticed the same problem. He did mention before his anger when he picked up weapons. I wonder why that was? A problem in his past, or does this other mortal possess some power I can't sense.
Then there was the angel. She always seemed to be fiddling with her necklace and for some reason it looked pretty fimilair. Oh well he thought as he shrugged off the idea's. Lets see what the old geezer has planned for them.

The headmasters words, echoed in her head. There was something she had forgotten or something that should be known to her, but wasn't. Both kingdoms once stood against the other, but there was peace even then, wasn't there? A hand reached up ans stroked back a few strands of hair that had fallen from her braided, lower back length hair. This had been happening a great deal lately. Not being able to places pieces of her memory back together. This was becoming rather frustrating, as though she needed to remember something, but could not. Her focus came back to what was taking place. She and Siren would start training together when ever they were ready. Perhaps this would be a good time to clear her head and focus on the true problem at hand. Glancing towards Siren, she gave a gentle smile. "I am ready if you are...please do not hold back either...it shall be better this way." she could see a bit of the nervousness within Sirens face. There was something on her mind, just like there had been something on her own. Though Siren had explained that she could lose control, this did not frighten her. If she had to she would use her holy powers in helping Siren in anyway she could. Though she knew she was not the best fighter, she could hold her own. The amulet around her neck pulsed lightly. Her eyes shifted from Siren and the others towards where Lord Chaos sat. Her eyes narrowed a bit, something was definitely not right about him. Everyone seemed to be acting to calm. There was something about him, that made her question his true intentions. She tried once more to shake the feeling off. This she would keep to herself so the others would not be alarmed. If at all possible, she would find out what he was really after. Removing the sword from her side, she set it on the ground beside her. Her feet parted, wings stretching out behind her. She was readying herself for their training. In someway she hoped to master her skills in a higher level and become much stronger. Also, hoping that the Headmaster knew what he was doing.

Siren blinked as the scenery changed again. The air felt freer, though she could still feel the confines of the walls she couldn't see. She was standing once more and she looked over at dewdrop as she said that she was ready when Siren was. Siren nodded, watching as Dewdrop looked at chaos. Siren didn't look at him, knowing that her gaze would falter, and her resolve would be gone. She closed her eyes instead for the moment, letting her consciousness float to Pyros. His presence was ever comforting to her, and she sighed as she thought about having to use her magic again. He had seen her lose control, though it had not been a particularly terrible loss of control, and she had been very upset by just that. She turned her attention back to him for a moment, and then opened her eyes to look back at Dewdrop. Dewdrop quickly readied herself, and she did the same. She thought about dewdrop telling her not to hold back, and raised her eyebrows slightly. Her full potential would only appear if she was upset, though she was formiddable when she was calm. She let her magic free of her restraint and felt it coursing through her body, the feeling refreshing, though she knew that when she was finished she would be very tired. Her eyes changed color quickly, the fire within fighting already to free itself. She wouldn't have to try very much at all to use it. She focused her flame red eyes at Dewdrop and the magic forced the final floodgate open, racing towards and around dewdrop within the moment it was released. Her guard slipped into place instantly, and she felt her awareness take in all that was around her; her obstacles and what she could use against her opponent, as well as the others in proximity. Her arms raised slightly from the relaxed position, palms facing the faux sky, arms out to her sides, and the magic flames rose higher. She had not as yet lost her control.

Pyros was quickly drawn away from Dewdrop as he felt like he was being watched, he noticed it was Siren. She looked worried and Pyros could only assume it was because of the mention of her power and how it would be useful to them, she looked around the room, it was obvious she was in thought about something, but she didn't know how to speak her mind. She asked if it was possible to get some fresh air, this seemed off to Pyros, she looked like she felt so uncomfortable at the moment, but why? It couldn't have been what the headmaster had said, she always seemed to be able to handle the situation, but now she looked very out of place and unfit. She looked up at Pyros again, her face showed a worry and slight fear of something, but what was it that was bothering her? Should he ask? Would it be wrong for him to ask her? Dewdrop went over and comforted Siren, she was whispering to her and smiling, Pyros felt as if he had just failed a task, he should have been there comforting her, she was his wife, yet he let his own thoughts get in the way of his rational thoughts and emotions.
Without warning the room changed again and they were surrounded by forest. Pyros looked around at the forest, something about the place didn't seem normal, but perhaps this was some magical illusion, perhaps it wasn't even a real forest but some sort of simulation. 'Theres so much happening at once, I don't know what to begin questioning first.' Pyros thought as the headmaster began explaining some basics to their training and gave an introduction to his own ability, he explained that he was an elder i the kingdom but he was still not the best at what he did, whatever that was, Pyros had no idea what sort of magic was his specialty, he only knew that Siren's most powerful magical trait was her elemental magic, other than her emotional power that was. He said the stones they were given were markers, he said that their training would be complete when the stones turned pure silver, Pyros looked down at the stone and pulled it into his hand. The stone was a black color, nothing had changed from when he had first received it.
Pyros gazed at the stone when his eyes noticed the other amulet around his neck, a similar stone that Siren had given him back during the battle between Cat Kingdom and Silver Viper, it held magical properties that protected him from some magic, he still cherished that stone as much as he did their wedding ring. Suddenly the headmaster said his name and Pyros let go of the stone, letting it drop down under his shirt and knocking against the other amulet, both dangling against his chest as he looked up at the headmaster. He was apologizing for reading his thoughts, Pyros wondered just how much he had been listening to and what he had heard. He explained that the two kingdoms were once at war with each other and that eventually the two kingdoms became one and that kingdom was Darklight. He went on to explain that no mortal knew of it because they chose not to let anyone find out, and that him and Siren were the first mortals to enter alive. Pyros looked down at the ground, he wondered what happened to the mortals that entered the kingdom and didn't return alive, were they murdered merely because of their race?
Vergo stood near Pyros and told him that whenever Pyros was ready, so was he. He spoke of a chambered climate that would accelerate their training, was this the forest appearance that felt so synthetic to Pyros? Or was it another place that was still unaware to him? He nodded in agreement, "Alright, I guess we better get this over with anyway." Pyros replied, sighing as he felt the rush of his blood that the weapons would bring upon in him. His eyes turned to Dewdrop, she was preparing to train with Siren, although he knew he needed to be training aswell, he wanted to see exactly how they would be training and how it would differ from Pyros' training. He watched as flames flooded through Siren's body as if overwhelming her and consuming her, though he knew she was in control of it. His eyes widened as he watched the flames fly from her toward Dewdrop, her magic was fascinating and incredible, it excited him immensely and he could feel the heat from the flames. "Its incredible isn't it?" Pyros said, only Vergo close enough to hear him, "Her magic... Its spectacular." Pyros added, as if in a trance, the flames reflected in his own eyes.

He smiled softly and spoke afew words under his breath as the two ladies began to square off in their own training. He would guid them with knowledge first, just to make them understand their abilities more and learn to depend on not just one but all of them at once. Once the spell was complete the breeze picked up to a decent wind and clouds rolled in darkening the area with a threat of rain. He remained silent for now to watch the two.
Vergo watched for a few moments and dropping his cloak he turned and lashed out with a mid kick. With Pyros so distracted with watching Siren....( he wondered why he was so intrested with her at all times ) this attack would be his first lesson. Should Pyros catch his motion and block there was another surprise waiting, and that would be the introduction for what Pyros was going to be learning.

The scenery change was nothing new to her. Changing one space into another was common, once among her people. Her mind focused, clearing of all thoughts that had plagued her up to this point. Her opponent was rather skilled and she needed all her concentration to not be caught off guard. She watched Sirens movement. The flames enveloped her as though they were one. She commanded the fire, it did not command her. However, looking closer into Sirens eyes, there was the hint of fear. Perhaps this fear stemmed from the idea of losing control. For the longest time she did not move, just watched and waited for Siren. She was studying her opponent, trying to figure out her style of attack and defense. One of her hands lifted at her side, pal up towards the sky. Within it began to form a small bluish ball. Within the ball it looked as though water was swirling around, steadily it grew. Her other hand stuck out to her side as well. However, within this hand a light brownish ball began to form. It looked as though dirt was swirling within it. Two elemental powers of Earth and Water were at her command. Though she did not want to attack quite yet, she was ready for an attack by fire. Her eyes shifted, quickly taking int he scenery around her. The lay out of the land around her would be an important to know when in battle. Though this was merely training, she knew it had to be taken seriously. As the orbs of water and earth glowed within her hands, her wings stayed stretched out on either side behind her. The golden outlining of them began to glow slightly as her aura increased steadily.
