Variety seems to be the style of the western region of Desuna. Much of the south is exceptionally flat and has aptly been named the Vast Plains, as the land seems to roll out endlessly. If you reach the northern ends of the plains though, trees begin to appear, growing larger and thicker until you're surrounded by the Roraldi forest. Trees get more sparse toward the north, unable to grow in the surrounding permafrost.

As the shadow comes out of the forest it stops and looks around. It sees the plains in front of him completely open, yet still able to hide the dangers of this new hellish world. Its staff of bones planted firmly on the ground, it takes a few more steps to see if there is anything around that would be foolish enough to attack. With nothing moving it heads towards the ancient tree half way to the cathedral. As it gets there to rest, the blood moon hangs high in the heavens as it always had. It then waits for the creature that was drawn to this place. The one that this ancient tree had always been calling out to.

Hita stopped and sighed some,repositioning the pack on her shoulder.Looking back over her shoulder one last time she began her trek again,this time she felt it right to leave.Hoping Li would read her note and stay put she continued onto the over grown pathway which would lead her from the mist.The thick fog curling around her almost as if it would try to stop her.Quietly she wondered how Yasu would feel to know she'd gone,Rez and Mor hadn't seemed to bothered by the idea,telling her that if it was what she needed then to go.She was still ever grateful that they hadn't made her tell Di,mostly because the older yonyuu frightened her greatly at times with those glowing eyes.Shaking away the unpleasant thoughts she refocused on the path a head trying to quell her fears of going back into the outside world again.Her hands shaking like leaves in the cool breeze as she pressed them firmly against the stone gate and gave it a hard push forward.It swung open with great force,but closed silently behind her.It was only when the gate had disappeared behind her like a trick of the moonlight that she changed herself into her hume form.Long almost wavy silver blond hair spilled down her back stopping above her blades,covering the small feathering wings which never went away.Her porcelain skin seemed more creamy in the light of the red moon,and her golden eyes seemed to give an eerily hollow glow as she looked up into the blood moon.Tugging back down her soft white shirt and buttoning her dark jeans she picked up the now small pack and with the laces of her shoes tied began walking again.She tried to quiet the fear that was building in her chest from the moment the gate vanished,her fingers tangling the chain of the milky opal necklace Rez had given her,her way back in.Nervously she left the cover of the trees,worn from all the walking just to make part way to the bridge.It was then she saw the old tree,the same tree she remembered passing when Yasu had brought both her and Li to Zabitiy.It was then a tough of relief washed through her,making her eyes seem less hollow and empty;and her pace picked up as she almost hurry to it,as though it were some sort of shelter.


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

As Amzer layed down by the old tree he knew that she was starting to get closer to him. His shadowy figure started to vanish as he started to stand. As the wind picked up it lifted his silky white hair and a moment later it fell back down past his shoulder. The bone armor encased his body as if it was his own. The skulls of young dragons covered his shoulders and knees, the boots around his feet were made from the smaller vertebra with two more skulls covering his feet. Amzer then takes the initiative to go out and meet his future companion, a mortal which he has never met but was still responsible to lead in this hell. He reached down to his torso and made sure that his sword, which was made from the fang of a fully matured inferno dragon, held his staff in it. The leathery skin of the same inferno dragon covered his body not only to add further armor, but to also hold the armor together; it was something especially important around his torso which only had a few bony claws covering his sides. The tall grass shimmered with a red hue as he ran through it. As he drew closer to Hita thunder clouds swarmed the skies, the lightning cracking louder then it ever had as the followers of chaos drew closer to them. When he reached Hita he looked down at the young girl with great surprise. Her innocence immediately stood out to him which made things clearer. He finally understood why the demons wanted to get to her before the Necromancers. "Hita, come with me now. You are not safe here" he sternly stated as he reached out his hand to her. He knew that some of her innocence was soon to be taken from her.

Jumping back in shock she looked up at the man,"How do you know my name?"She questioned,her eyes glowing gold as she prepared to try and use the magic Mor had taught her.Her fear though,shown almost as brightly in her eyes as she prepared herself.So much so fast,why had she even felt the pull to leave her sister and their safe home away from the darkness.Rather than using her small amount of power though,she instead took one last step back and tripped over the snarled old tree root which had sprouted from below the ground.Landing on her butt she looked up at the man in the bone armor,even more frightened now."What do you want with me?"Her voice shaking as she asked.Her first thought was of the spirits which seem to cling to the man's bone armor,they were all sorts of colors;some angry some saddened,and others like stone as if they didn't believe themselves dead.Crawling back on her hands and feet she bumped right into the trunk of the old tree.Realizing she had no where to run,she closed her eyes,"Its just a dream,nothings there...its all just a bad dream..."Her eyes staying shut tightly as she pulled her balled up fists up to her face,tucking her knees to her chest as well."The big scary man its real..."She whispered before cracking open one eye to look.*

"Trust me, there are far worse things out there then me. I am here to guide you through this new earth. You are a very important person and I do not want you to be captured by the followers of chaos." As Amzer kneels down to her he extends his hand to her again and kindly speaks to her, "Come with me. I will not hurt you." He sees the fear taking control of her. "Do not worry Hita, I am someone you can trust. But right now I need to get you to a safe place," he reaches for her face and then slides his bare skin against her face to try and sooth her. "Also there is much for me to teach you, but I can only do so if you trust me completely." He waits for her, hoping that she responds in a positive manner. "One last thing," he reaches to the pouch on his side and takes out a beautiful necklace adorned with different gems. "This is now yours to keep."

Listening carefully to the man speak she opens one eye looking him over again,"Worse things..."Those words alone were enough to give her great pause as she thought all of what he'd told her through for a few moments.Finally opening both eyes she releases her tightly balled fists,then reaches slowly out to the necklace in his hand.Her sheer love of shiny things overriding her fear factor.After taking it from him she laced the chain around her neck and sat forward,letting her knees fall to the left so she sat on her left hip.Still she eyed him unsure of what was happening."Ummm...since you already know who I am,then can I ask who you are?"She questioned in a soft voice.There may have been worse things in this strange world,but for right then he really was still the most terrifying thing she'd seen,him and his many ghosts.For a moment she thought of Li and going back to her and Yasu,but she shook off that thought almost instantly.Whatever this darkness was,it was calling her,and that meant it wouldn't leave her be until she found out what it was.Around them she could hear the soft wails of the spirits of those who had died horrid deaths.It sent a chill up her spine,suddenly shocking her into understanding that it didn't matter what he looked like,she was safe with him and not where they were. "Ok..."She said to no one particular as she pulled herself onto her feet,hovering a few inches above the ground."Lets go."She told him with a nod,gathering her small backpack in her arms.

"Great, now follow me." He leads on to the run down cathedral where he would start letting her know a lot more about why she was wanted by the two sides. "My name is Amzer. I'm am one of the higher Necromancers in this region," he continues on to his destination, looking down every so often to make sure she was still beside him. "There are many people besides me who know much about you, but have never know where to find you. One of those would happen to be Demon Lords. They have never been able to discover your location so they waited until somebody found out where to find you." Thinking back to a few months before he left his Necropolis, when one of his kin deceived him, the image of the traitor was still fresh in his mind. Tracking and killing him was the first time he had really seen fear in a vampire. "One of the Demon Lords got lucky and found out that I was able to find something on where to find you. Through many years stuck in my library I was able to find that you would come to this tree. Now there tracking me because they know it would lead them to you." As they enter the thicket of grass he uses one of the spirits that hang around him to push aside the grass in front of them so it doesn't leave a path for anyone or anything else to follow.

Blinking she hovered behind him as quickly as possible,frightened some by the spirit she saw lay down the grass.Finally the thought crossed her mind after a few seconds,"How did you know when I would leave Yasu's,let alone where the gate was?"Looking at him wide eyed as she asks.Thinking back on it,she had only gotten the urge to leave Yasu's a week earlier.Still it made her feel just a little uneasy,and what anyone would want some thrown away kit for was beyond her. "What could any of you possibly want from me?"She finally asked unsure if she really wanted the answer or not.Golden eyes ventured skyward as she thought about her parents one last time,still feeling the sting of hatred as she did.Sighing some she began again to follow him,shaking off all her other thoughts and refocusing herself on whatever was going on. She again hovered along behind him,now silent and with a sadder look than before.

"If you do not trust me then follow your own path. I am not holding you against your will. You are free to do as you please. Just remember, I am only here to be your guide through your journey. Whether you want my help or not is your choice. As for knowing when you would leave for the ancient tree, well that was just something of fate. I was planning to stay there as long as it took for you to meet me there. Also, I know nothing of a gate in the area. All the books in my library just pointed me to that area. There was nothing that gave a specific location as to where to go." Amzer had started to become agitated at this point as he never had anyone question him like this before. He then thought it over and let it go. She was young and not of the necromancers so he couldn't expect too much out of her. "I will let you know this though. My library has tens of thousands of books, maps, and ancient scroll paintings of the world. By using all of that I was able to find this location." He slowed down for a while as he realized she was starting to get a little ways behind him. "As for what you are and what everyone wants with you. You will be given that information once you fix all your internal turmoil. What you are is something you must know once your past is taken care of by you. So the time it takes you to find out is up to you." They then reach the outskirts of the tall grassland after traveling for a few hours. Looking out to the cathedral which was only an hour walk he could still see the arch liches ready to attack any demons that were heading that way.

She slowed even more,hearing the irritation in his voice.It did give her pause as she thought his words over."I'm sorry...its just..."Stopping all together finally she let her feet touch the ground thinking over what she could or should say to make him less upset with her.From the corner of her eye she could see a small black wisp of what seemed smoke,but within seconds she noticed that the smoke had eyes.Trying her best not to scream she let her hand out for it to rest,at which point the small spirit seemed to turn sad with her."I'm just not use to anyone really wanting me,I'm sorry.I also thought Yasu had said that no one could find her place in the mist..."Looking over to the little critter she gave it a slight smile before pulling up the sleeve of her shirt.Once the small spirit was safely hidden from sight she lifted herself again and floated as fast as she could after him,feeling an eerie shiver from the mere sight of the large towers looming beyond. 'Well it isn't like I have anywhere else to go...if this is what drew me out I guess I should follow him.'
